Ready 4 Learning

The Ready 4 Learning framework supports and underpins the “foundation skills” needed for a learner to be curriculum ready. Higher level cognitive tasks such as reading and writing depend upon the successful execution of fundamental skills. If these skills are not automatic, the brain will concentrate on executing those skills rather than on the higher level thinking tasks.

Elements in the Ready for Learning Framework consist of: 

• Key competencies

• Speaking

• Concepts of print

•  Hearing

•  Seeing

•  Moving (fine/gross motor skills)

Here are some resources you can use at home to support your child's foundation skills development.
