Appendix H: Sample Focus Group TranscriptFocus Group Workshop 1 (January 2016) Participant 1 (PVI) Participant 2 (PDN) Participant 3 (Playgroup) Participant 4 (PDN) Participant 5 (Nursery School) Participant 6 (PDN Setting Manager) (includes 5 participants that have either put ‘n/a’ or left blank the sections from the survey questionnaire about supporting babies, toddlers, under threes with early reading) You have kindly offered to be part of a focus group workshop and some of you perhaps did not complete the survey questionnaire sections on supporting under-threes with early reading.

Participant 3 – “I just thought early reading began with phonics so put ‘n/a’”. Participants 4 and 5 – same here really. Participant 6 – “I completed that section, but after this and our EYTS training sessions, I could probably add more to it now”. I explained the workshop style of the focus group – access to flip chart paper and pens (if necessary) to discuss and respond to the following questions: How do you support under-threes with early reading? What are your views and beliefs about reading and how does this influence your practice with under- threes? (if at all?) Do you think there are any challenges as an EYTT in supporting under-threes with early reading? Participants split themselves into 2 groups and produced a flip chart paper of the kinds of activities to support age ranges babies, toddlers, two year olds, pre-school (and three to five, as they felt that this helped them to focus more on the task).
