Abstract: The role of the adult as a support for children’s literacy development is of considerable importance. Recently Frank Smith (1992) indicated that ‘ethods can never ensure that children learn to read. Children must learn from people’. That quote encapsulated, very neatly, the key role of adults. Those adults, often parents at home and teachers at school, will provide and then support children in a variety of literacy activities, which serves to facilitate the children in their literacy development (Campbell 1990). What are some of those literacy activities – especially in the early years? And how do the adults at home, in pre-school playgroups, in nursery classrooms and infant school classrooms use the literacy activities to support the children’s learning? There are, of course, many different opportunities for children to engage with literacy. However, six particular activities will beemphasised in this article. They are story reading, using environmental print, momentary engagements with print, shared book experience, shared reading and opportunities for writing.
