Part of becoming literate is being able to interpret visual representations of information. These slides show how the children (4 year olds) were able to use pictures to help represent the results of their taste testing. They looked carefully at the pictograph and were able to answer questions using what they saw. For the children able to recognize names and beginning letters another aspect of their literacy was being able to answer questions related to particular children e.g. Did Jo like the Korma curry or not?
Building the children's oral language and vocabulary during the initial cooking experience, during the graph construction and when discussing and interpreting it was also part of the children's literacy development.
