Foundation Treasure House is a topic-based resource consisting of mini-storytelling projects. Each project focuses on an exciting and engaging core text, with a bank of activities linked to the text. All 40-60+ month reading and writing early years outcomes are covered within the topics.

The bank of activities for each project is the vehicle for teaching speaking and listening skills, early reading skills (phonics), early writing skills and related reinforcement. There are lots of suggestions for incorporating more cross-curricular and creative activities within the topic.
