Synopsis

`This then is a valuable book for anyone concerned with early years teaching. It should be applauded for its realistic yet sensitive approach to language and literacy in the early years' - Child Language Teaching and Therapy

This book is relevant to a wide range of practitioners in early years settings. The author deals with a broad range of issues in language, literacy and learning, concentrating on the ages three to eight and on the professional interests of practitioners with this age-range. The author continues to reject quick-fix approaches to language and narrow prescriptive rules for teaching children, and re-asserts the complexity and the joy involved in supporting young children's development as speakers, writers and readers. Each chapter concludes with suggested further reading and suggestions for teaching and learning.
