Pori Drwy Stori Nursery Programme Practitioner Guide
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, literacy and numeracy skills. It is designed
to support the home-school/home-setting link and to
encourage parents and 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.
The Pori Drwy Stori Nursery programme will be offered
to 20,000 Nursery children in 2021-22.
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’ and 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.
Children...
• know more rhymes and songs
• enjoy sharing rhymes and songs
more and share them more often
• enjoy sharing books more
• talk about books more
Parents and Carers…
• share rhymes and songs more often with their child
• enjoy sharing books with their child more and feel that
reading for pleasure is important
• use books to prompt talk and play with their child more
• communicate more with their child’s school or setting
and feel more engaged with their child’s learning
Practitioners...
• understand more about the role of rhymes and songs in
oracy development
• create more opportunities for sharing rhymes and songs
(in English and Welsh)
• increase their use of books to support oracy outcomes
• develop new ways of communicating with parents/carers
and/or supporting the home-Nursery link

5How 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.
Plan how you will use Pori Drwy Stori Nursery. Take time to
1 become familiar with the resources and to organise them once
they arrive. Plan for links to other activities and Areas of Learning
and Experience.
Introduce the whole programme to parents and carers. Use
resources provided, including the parent letter and presentation,
2
information leaflets and posters to encourage parents and carers
to get involved with Pori Drwy Stori. Many schools and settings
run friendly meetings or workshops to 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.
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 and use the resources at home. Digital versions of
resources are available on the Pori Drwy Stori web pages.
Maintain communication with parents and carers
throughout the programme. Talk to them about what they’re
4 doing when they drop off and collect children. Use the feedback
slips in the resources. Use Twitter, Facebook 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 your
5 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
and Experience.
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.
6More 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 10 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 and 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
and 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.
7Examples 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
• Share social media cards for Book Talk
• Use the feedback slips in the resources to start conversations with parents and carers
about what they have done and what they have enjoyed doing.

9Supporting the Foundation
Phase Framework
The Pori Drwy Stori Nursery programme can support a number of Foundation Phase Oracy
outcomes. This table gives some examples.
Foundation Phase Framework Skills LNF/AoL?
Express some enjoyment or interest e.g. talk about what they liked to do at home
(use the feedback slips), talk about their favourite rhymes or why they like/don’t like LNF
the books
Retell, in simple terms, an event or an experience e.g. talk about what they did
LNF
with the resources at home
Use newly learned vocabulary in and through play activities e.g. use words
from the rhymes and books in their play, including when using the game resources AoL
(duck cards, finger puppets etc)
Speak clearly enough to be understood by adults and peers e.g. when talking
about the rhymes and books LNF
Understand how to use simple questions, e.g. ‘Why?’, ‘How?’ and ‘Can I?’, to
establish why things happen and to clarify understanding e.g. asking questions about AoL
the stories
Engage in sound and word play e.g. share the rhymes, guess the rhyming words,
add their own rhyming words, fill in the missing rhyming word AoL
Recognise rhythm and rhyme in spoken words and join in with rhythmic
activities e.g. share the rhymes, clap or stamp rhythms, predict the rhyming words AoL
Listen and attend with growing attention and concentration e.g. learn the
rhymes by listening, listen attentively to the stories, show attention through their LNF
responses to the resources e.g. question prompts and games
Listen to and carry out a two-step instruction e.g. follow the actions in a rhyme,
follow instructions to use the games AoL
Follow simple action words, e.g. through games and songs e.g. join in with the
actions in the rhymes AoL
Listen and join in with songs, rhymes and stories e.g. listening, joining in with
rhymes (whole or in part), responding to stories by anticipating what comes next LNF
In simple terms, retell a story or information they have heard e.g. retell the
stories in simple language LNF
Answer simple ‘Who?’, ‘What?’ and open-ended questions relating to own
experiences, stories or events e.g. respond to the Book Talk questions or the AoL
activities on the rhyme cards
Welsh-medium statement: imitate and use answers to questions using the
correct formats e.g. ask and answer simple questions about the books using the AoL
correct formats
Participate in discussions with other children and/or adults e.g. respond to the
questions in the resources, talk about what they did at home in Circle Time LNF
Take part in activities alongside others e.g. share the rhymes in a group, play the
games with other children or parents/carers LNF
NB Pori Drwy Stori Nursery can also support other areas of the Foundation Phase Framework,
especially reading skills.

BookTrust
BookTrust is the UK’s largest children’s reading charity. We are
dedicated to getting children reading because we know that
children who read are happier, healthier, more empathetic and
more creative; they also do better at school.
Each year, we reach 3.9 million children across the UK with books,
resources and support to help develop a love of reading. BookTrust
gets children reading in lots of different ways, but our priority is to
get children excited about books, rhymes and stories.
Out work in Wales is delivered by BookTrust Cymru. Visit our
website to find fun ideas and resources to help you continue on your
reading journey booktrust.org.uk.cymruYou can also read
