Planning for Children's Play and Learning: Meeting children's needs in the later stages of the EYFS

By Jane Drake (Routledge, 21.99, ISBN 978041563)

Jane Drake's popular guide goes into its fourth edition and is fully updated to not only reflect the revised EYFS but also recognise the latest policy moves, including the introduction of the Early Years Teacher.

The importance of play as a context for teaching, learning and assessment is explored in detail and there are useful links to theory with practical examples. There is a wealth of new material on learning stories, language development, ICT and home learning.
