‘Listen with Lucy’ is an attention and listening in the early years programme developed by Sharon Garforth following concerns expressed by teachers about the level of children’s skills on school entry. Sustainability was important, so the group content is intended as an alternative to the time early years staff already allocate to traditional story, rhyme time or circle time. Lucy is a puppet. Sharon includes examples and evaluations from the programme’s development and analyses what makes staff enthusiastic about adopting it. The programme is now available in book form, intended both as a tool for people supporting children to develop their listening and attention skills and for people training early years practitioners.
