Reviewed by Denni Morrison, lecturer in psychology and child development at Hertford Regional College.
This long awaited and fully revised second edition of Sandra Smidt's useful guide has been updated to include the Foundation Stage. Like the first edition it is long on practical information and short on jargon.
In its nine chapters the book covers how children learn, how the adult can support and extend the learning, how to observe and document what takes place, equality of opportunity and partnerships with parents. A comprehensive reference list at the end of each chapter will encourage further reading.
