Many adults find it challenging to identify what knowledge young children are building and how they do so. This book draws on research from the Young Children As Researchers (YCAR) project to examine everyday activities and reveal the means that young children use to build knowledge and understanding, as well as exploring the similarities between learning behaviours in early childhood and adult life. Contains practical advice and ways of creating opportunities for children to actively learn.
