The ORIM Framework helps parents to support children's early literacy development by providing: Opportunities, Recognition, Interaction, and Models of Literacy.
We're making the last 12 issues of the Early Education Journal free to access for all of April to support the professional learning of practitioners and students currently restricted by social distancing. Enjoy!

A bumper haul of PPE (gloves, face masks, wipes, etc.) donated to the NHS by departments in @SheffUniEng. You can donate to https://t.co/E6d6qvwKcH to help our @iForge_sheff continue to 3D print face shields for healthcare workers.
#ORIMatHOME Name search. Cut some letters from magazines or packaging. Hide around the house ( or garden if that’s possible). When children have found them, arrange them to make their names. Add names of pets, family and friends for a more challenging search.
Anyone ready to jump around and burn off some energy?
Have some fun being a Sleeping Bunny! Young children will develop their listening as they join in - can they go from quiet to loud and then 'Stop!'...?
People Powered a group of creative freelancers have put together this great letter offering support to our #NHS
If anyone needs their brilliant building skills and second to none organisational talents, give them a ring.
We just want to take a moment to appreciate the hard work of the dedicated teachers, nursery practitioners and everybody who works in childcare over the past few weeks. You have our full respect ❤️
@ORIMnetwork will be posting suggestions of literacy activities that parents and children can do at home using household items. First coming up now #ORIMatHOME
#ORIMatHOME Words & letters hunt. Secretly hide some food packages around the house for children to find. Then talk about the words and letters on them. Add more tins and packages to make the hunt harder and longer.
Hello to everyone using #ORIM & #REAL approaches! Our annual #orimnetwork meeting planned for May 14th in Sheffield will be replaced by an online event. Details about the new format coming soon. Contact [email protected] for updates. Stay safe everyone.
“We have not forgotten about you.”
This is an open letter from Dr Matt Morgan, a consultant in intensive care medicine at Cardiff & Vale University Health Board, to the elderly, frail, vulnerable, or those with serious underlying health conditions, during the Covid-19 outbreak.
For those who might have to stay home with young children over the next months, these apps may be of interest https://t.co/RAb4BbeKjj and there are also resources online to support active movement, such as these: https://t.co/jWBdQtbFmF and https://t.co/NCUsmAYHUV
If everyone who has ever been grateful for the NHS followed and retweeted we would reach a million by midnight
It takes just one click and your support would mean a lot, especially right now
This is an excellent summary. EY principles &EYFS ignored, flawed data & deficit models of children, experts rubbished & for what??! We must continue to resist @earlyed_uk @NAHTnews @Keep_EYs_Unique @educationgovuk https://t.co/Sojo1WWBgk
