PORI DRWY STORI NURSERY PROGRAMME - PRACTITIONER GUIDE - BOOKTRUST
Welcome to the Pori Drwy
Stori Nursery programme!
                    Pori Drwy Stori inspires a love of books, stories and
                    rhymes and supports children to develop speaking,
                    listening and numeracy skills. It is designed to support
                    the home-school/ home-setting link and to encourage
                    parents/carers to play an active role in their child’s
                    learning.
                    The Pori Drwy Stori programme has been available for
                    all children in Reception in Wales since 2012.
                    This programme will reach 15000 Nursery children in
                    2019-20.
                    Pori Drwy Stori is delivered by
                    BookTrust Cymru and funded
                    by the Welsh Government.

  Programme aims
  The Pori Drwy Stori Nursery programme aims to improve
  educational outcomes for children in Nursery.
  It aims to do this be providing engaging resources and activities
  that fit the principles of the Foundation Phase and the Literacy and
  Numeracy Framework, which support learning in the school/setting
  and at home and which facilitate a home-school/home-setting link.
    •   Specific aim 1: To improve oracy-related outcomes for
        children.
    •   Specific aim 2: To increase parents’/carers’ engagement
        with their child’s learning, specifically in relation to activities
        which support oracy outcomes.
    •   Specific aim 3: To increase practitioners’ knowledge and
        understanding of, and practice relating to, how they can
        improve oracy outcomes for children, especially by engaging
        parents and carers.

What can the
programme achieve?
The overall aim of the Pori Drwy Stori Nursery programme is to improve educational
outcomes for children in Nursery, especially in relation to oracy skills. We hope that the
programme will also have a positive impact on parents / carers and support practitioners, too.
The programme is designed to be flexible and we hope that you will use it in the way that you
think best supports your children and priorities.
Here are some of the things that we hope the Pori Drwy Stori Nursery programme can
achieve. Of course, we would not expect every outcome to be achieved in every Nursery!
However, we hope this gives you some ideas about how you can make the most of the
programme.

How to make the most of
Pori Drwy Stori Nursery:
Key recommendations
Pori Drwy Stori is designed to be flexible and to be adapted to different children, families
and settings. However, based on feedback and evaluation, we strongly advise that you
follow these six key recommendations to make the programme a success.

        1        Plan how you will use Pori Drwy Stori Nursery. Take time to
                 become familiar with the resources and to organise them once
                 they arrive. Plan for links to other activities and Areas of Learning.

                 Introduce the whole programme to parents and carers.
                 Many schools and settings run friendly meetings or workshops to

       2         introduce the programme to parents and carers. Some introduce
                 the programme at one-to-one parent meetings. Others use letters
                 and social media to share information. The more parents and
                 carers know about the programme, what to do and the difference
                 it will make, the more likely they are to get involved.

                 Introduce the resources to children in Nursery before they

       3         take them home. The more excited children are about the
                 resources, the more likely they are to share this excitement with
                 their families. It will also help children use the resources at home
                 if they are familiar with them and know what to do.

                 Maintain communication with parents and carers

       4         throughout the programme. Talk to them about what they’re
                 doing when they drop off and collect children. Use the feedback
                 slips in the resources. Use Twitter or classroom apps to develop
                 two-way communication with parents and carers and to see the
                 resources in use at home.

                 Make links between the resources and what you do in
       5         your Nursery. Make the resources available as part of your
                 Continuous Provision. Plan activities which link to the rhymes and
                 the books. Link the rhymes and books to Foundation Phase Areas
                 of Learning.

       6         Use each resource across a half term. This will enable you to
                 develop and sustain links with the home and to develop oracy
                 outcomes over time.

More ideas for getting
the most out of Pori
Drwy Stori Nursery
      Use the programme to support your Foundation Phase Profile
  1   assessment (the links in the outcomes on page 7 will help you).

      At the end of the programme, make sure parents and carers
  2   know that their children will receive Pori Drwy Stori
      throughout their Reception year.

      Signpost parents and carers to the online resources available –
  3   including rhyme videos and sound files of the Welsh versions of the
      books (booktrust.org.uk/poridrwystori-nursery).

      If you are an English-medium setting or a setting with a lot of Welsh
  4   learners, use the bilingual resources to build confidence in Welsh
      for both parents/carers and children.

      Use the programme to find out more about the home learning
  5   environment for different children in your Nursery. Ask children
      and parents/carers how they have used the resources.

      Emphasise the importance of reading for pleasure and having fun
  6   with the Book Talk books.

      If you have children in your Nursery who don’t have English or
      Welsh as their first language, ask them to share a rhyme from
  7   their own mother tongue. Engage their parents/
      carers in this activity.

      If you have a mixed class that includes some
      children who are not eligible to receive
      programme resources (e.g. Reception children or
  8   younger Nursery children), you can still learn the
      rhymes and share the books together and have
      fun as a whole class.

Examples of good practice to
     give you some inspiration!
                          Engaging families
                          Here are some ideas to help parents and carers understand the resources and get the most
                          from them with their child:
                            • Organise an open session or parent meeting to explain what families will receive and
                               when. Talk to families about why rhymes matter and the benefits of sharing books.
                            • Display posters and information on the nursery door or at the drop off point.
                            • Use social media/your website/classroom apps to:
                                - introduce the programme and resources
                                - update families on what will be coming home next
                                - post reminders on what to do and how to have fun at home
                                - share links to the resources on the Pori Drwy Stori website e.g. the rhyme videos
                                - post photos of the children, letting parents see the resources in action
                            • Use the feedback slips in the resources to start conversations with parents/carers
                               about what they have done and what they have enjoyed doing.

Book Talk
• Read the books in nursery before the children
  take them home. This will help increase the
  children’s excitement and help them become familiar
  with the books. Children’s excitement can often
  rub off on their families! Hearing the books again
  and again will also help children become familiar
  and confident with the language.
• Read the story in a special place for the first time
  to make it memorable e.g. outside or under a
  parachute.
• Place toy dragon or picture of the characters from
  Every Body Has a Body in a basket. Let the
  children pick one out and match it to the correct
  page in the book. Use language from the books to
  talk about the toys with the children.
• Make a video or record yourself reading the
  books. Share it with families via social media.
  Children will love sharing it at home with their
  families! It will also help you model reading the
  books and could support increased parental
  engagement.
• Use the books as a springboard to explore
  other topics and themes e.g. dragons, friendship,
  opposites or differences. Can you think of additional
  activities, rhymes or stories about the dragons,
  friendship or differences?
• Find other books in your school/setting that are
  linked to Amazing and Everybody Has A Body. You
  could ask children to bring in any linked books that
  they have at home.
• Place a copy of the books in the book corner or
  around the nursery to encourage children to pick
  them up and ‘read’ independently. Observe the
  children as they become familiar with the story,
  rhymes and illustrations and support them to talk
  about and re-tell the stories on their own and to
  each other.
• Everybody Has A Body is a rhyming book. Point out
  the rhyming words to the children and ask them
  to think of other words that rhyme. Can they think
  of a word that rhymes with their own name? Start
  by using your name as an example. You could invite
  parents / carers to take a photo of their child at
  home with a rhyming object or action e.g. Lilly being
  silly, Ben in his den.
• Celebrate completing Book Talk with a fun
  session for families – you could hold a special
  storytime session based on the two books.
