Supporting Early Literacy Development: Exploring best practice with 2-3 year olds

With two year olds now becoming an established part of the school population in many areas of the UK, it is critically important that those working with these very young children fully understand how literacy can be most successfully approached at this sensitive and crucial stage of their development.
