Hi Charlie36

There are plenty you could choose from. 1. Parental involvement in young children's learning at home. 2. Improving the outdoor environment. 3. Setting up a parenting support group. 4. Evaluation of transition strategies for children with complex needs. 5. The settling in and transition of children into early years environment. 6. Effects of the volunteer reading scheme. 7.The use of interactive whiteboards and children's leaning of numeracy/literacy. 8. Inclusion teams within education. 9. Emotional literacy and the role of ELSAs. 10. Effectiveness of LSA support for learning.
These are just a few that you might want to consider. Hope this helps.

hey thanx for that list of possibilities i have decided that i want to base my research around literacy in young children unsure of which way to take this

hi, Have you considered showing how intervention strategies help children who struggle with literacy, especially reading and writing. Which ever you choose you need to make sure that you can refine the content to one area (literacy is a huge topic). The best way forward is to have an idea of what it is you want to find out and how this is going to benefit anyone who may wish to read it. How much has been covered by other people? How can you validate what you have found out? Is there enough research been done for you to be able to refer to?
These are some of the questions you need to think about before you get too bogged down with a topic area that you can't rein in.
