ELR stands for Early Literacy Resources. 

These plans have been created with the steps of Development Matters in mind and focus on the pre-early Learning Goal skills.

The ELR plans and resources on the Literacy Shed Plus website tend to focus on all Areas of Development but particularly Communication and language (with the development of vocabulary being at the centre), Physical Development (gross and fine motor skills), and some Literacy—for those children able to access simple writing activities. These plans also include ideas for enhancing the provision linked to each lesson.

These are the plans to download and use if your children are not yet at the stage of writing simple captions and sentences but need further support with verbalising sentences, utilising vocabulary and developing motor skills ready for focused mark-making.
