answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2017 answer text <p>The Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework sets the standards that all early years providers must meet to ensure that children learn and develop well and are kept healthy and safe. The EYFS can be found at:</p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-years-foundation-stage-framework--2" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/early-years-foundation-stage-framework--2</a>.</p><p>For literacy, the EYFS requires early years practitioners to encourage children to link sounds and letters, through the use of phonics, and to begin to read and write. Children must be given access to a wide range of reading materials (books, poems, and other written materials) to ignite their interest. For teaching numeracy, practitioners provide children with opportunities to develop and improve their skills in counting, understanding and using numbers, calculating simple addition and subtraction problems; and to describe shapes, spaces, and measure</p><p>Through the recent primary assessment consultation, we are exploring the content of the early learning goals (ELGs) specified in the EYFS, including those relating to literacy and numeracy. The consultation closed on 22 June, and a Government response will be issued in due course.</p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 30/06/2017 13:57:45 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2017 answer text <p>It is vital that pupils learn to read in the early years of primary school.</p><p> </p><p>There is a substantial body of evidence which demonstrates that systematic synthetic phonics is the most effective method for teaching all pupils to read. The phonics screening check for pupils in year 1 was introduced nationally in 2012, to make sure that pupils have learned phonic decoding to an age appropriate standard. Thanks to the hard work of teachers, our continued focus on raising standards and the increased emphasis on phonics‎, there are now an additional 147,000 six-year-olds on track to becoming fluent readers. Given this success, we continue to support the administration of the phonics screening check in our primary schools.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 29/06/2017 16:47:40 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
