Question
What percentage of children who were in reception in the school year 2024/25 knew how to use a book correctly?
Answer
Answered by Cabinet Secretary for Education
This data is not held by Welsh Government.
The Welsh Government’s Talk With Me strongly encourages parents and carers to share books with their children.
Within the Languages, Literacy and Communication area of learning and experience, early interactions with books, including handling books, form part of the learning described at progression step 1, which broadly corresponds to expectations at age 5.
