At Fravashi International Academy, Early Years is more than preschool ,it’s the foundation of lifelong learning. Here’s how Cambridge Early Years brings that foundation to life through carefully chosen books and purposeful play activities.
Learner Resources & Thematic Books
Cambridge provides a curated range of learner resource books tailored for ages 3–6, focusing on:
• Language & literacy: storybooks, phonics primers, vocabulary builders
• Creative expression: art-based activity books, prompts for expressive play
• Understanding the world: inquiry-themed texts that explore nature, communities, and self-awareness
These are often organised thematically, aligning with inquiry blocks and physical development:
Thematic storytelling supports comprehension and vocabulary

• Physical narrative play mirrors story events

Phonics Aligned Resources (SATPin Phonetics, Grafalco, Saar)
Early Years literacy is supported using specialist phonics-aligned readers:
• SATPin phonetics approach: structured phonics progression
• Grafalco Readers: visually rich, leveled texts reinforcing phonetic patterns

Activity‑Based Learning & Play Corners
Books are just the beginning learning deepens through:
• Play corners themed around current inquiry booklets
• Creative expression stations linked to story themes
• Movement activities where physical development is woven into thematic lessons
Why This Matters in Early Learning
