Welcome to All Readers Great and Small our early years literacy podcast! Join myself (John) and my two friends Laura and Shamim as we dive into the world of early reading. We're all lecturers in Early Childhood Education and are passionate about finding ways to support children and families in their literacy learning. We'll be talking and thinking about the importance of reading and writing, ways to make literacy fun and of course our favourite books. We have interviews, chats and lots of book banter! We’d love to hear your suggestions too so join in on Bluesky #allreadersgreatandsmall ❤️📚
This week we have a chat with the fabulous Dr Jo Albin-Clark and think about reading, play and how stories shape our experiences. Jo discusses her latest research focusing on 'resistance stories' from the classroom and the ways in which teachers might think about some of the tricky choices they may face when trying to best support their children. Take a listen and let us know what you think!
