Product description

Review

′This book shoudl be read by all those involved in Early Years settings, in order to understand the moral imperative of creating environments which recognise the uniquely individual social and cultural experiences that young children bring to formalised learning. The greatest strength of this text is the ability of the writer to annexe complex research to the compelling need for the practitioner to understand how young children both make meaning and use language to make new meaning as they learn to communicate in a range of modes′ -
English 4-11 Magazine

′This new edition of a highly regarded and very well-presented text on young children′s language and literacy development is thoroughly up-to-date and relevant to practitioners working with children from birth to five in the Early Years Foundation Stage and teachers of children in Years 1 and 2. It provides, in an extremely readable and accessible way, the key theories which practitioners need to be familiar with in order to support the language and literacy development of young children in their care...Students will find the connection between theory and practice illuminating and a great help in their studies′
- Early Years Update

′This book is key reading for primary and early years students, early years practitioners classroom assistants and Early Years Foundation Stage teachers′ -
Early Years Educator

Praise for the Third Edition:

′The text relates theory and practice in an easily readable form with particularly helpful sections on key terminology and summaries within each chapter. A most useful, practical text which no early years practitioner should be without′ - Jacqueline Barbera, Director of Undergraduate ITT, Liverpool Hope University College

3.0 out of 5 stars Didnt find what I was looking for
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 November 2012
Verified Purchase
I recently purchased the newest (4th Edition) of this book, particularly looking for information on language acquisition in children in pre-school settings who experience their first exposure to English in the setting. I felt that the book was a bit light on information in this area - I was looking for information on the silent period of language acquisition in bi-lingual children, and didnt find any reference to it. Perhaps this will be included in the 5th edition; I was disappointed as the back of the book says 'the author has added material on difficulties with language development', but I would consider some reference to the silent period to be integral to the study of children with language delay.
