7 EARLY LEARNING Razzledazzle see bbc.co.uk/schools for more details

AGE Razzledazzle 3-5 This TV series supports children’s language skills, with a particular emphasis on listening and speaking. It’s designed for 3-5 year olds, but it can be used for slightly older children who need literacy reinforcement.

The programmes encourage children to join in with rhymes, songs, movement and simple stories, often linking language with physical movement. Nursery rhymes – both traditional and new – feature regularly.

The oral tradition, with its rhythmic, repetitive and patterned language, is a highlight of the series. Key skills that will be developed and supported include: aural attention span, auditory memory and articulation, such as voice and vocabulary development, to help children express and communicate their thoughts, ideas and feelings.
