Hi, welcome to silkysteps, a few suggestions ..
309.2-9 Support and extend play to encourage learning, drawing on your knowledge of individual children and their preferred learning styles:
There is an article on Silkysteps that helps to explain the VAK model, visual, auditory and kinaesthetic and on BBC Wales, schema is another method of learning & understanding that can be used to identify & extend play opportunities. If you use mapping to help pin point activities individual children enjoy/engage in most & the time spent there you may be able to see their preferences in order to plan resources & activity ideas/new actions based on interests and also use to adapt any less frequently used areas of play.
Depending on how you work and how you know your children, how do you support & extend .. if they like messy play, construction, text & print, singing, transporting & collecting items from one place to another, throwing, aiming and kicking, like putting things in and taking out, are you able to add different resources, suggest activity actions/ideas that help to change, prompt, support alternative ways of playing and learning, with the same, different, similar or a mix of items. Are children watchers, listeners, like full body involvement. Maybe some are repeatedly attracted to play that supports the sense of smell, contrasting textures, colour combinations, sounds, taste or focussed activity that uses new and existing/familiar objects.
309.2.12 Seek additional support if children are not progressing as expected.
What reporting methods exist in your setting for you to share concerns & queries about children's development, learning, well-being? Who do you talk to - manager or lead, additional needs coordinator / senco, parents/carer/guardian?
I hope this helps a little xx
