Practitioners need to help each child to learn. They must recognise the child's current understanding and achievements and know what the child's next steps could be. This may involve the practitioner and the child working together in an activity chosen by the child. The practitioner can help children to achieve something new, that they could not yet do independently. It may involve the practitioner in talking with the child to establish what he or she understands. The practitioner also needs to know what misconceptions the child holds about, for example, how letters represent the sounds in speech. Such information will provide the evidence for the practitioner's judgement about what the child needs to be taught and helped with. In these processes, both the child and the practitioner play an active role together.

Further to the news story (7 March) and the letters regarding the payment of the childcare tax credit element of Working Families Tax Credit (21 March), I think that the WFTC should be distributed by vouchers. The parents should be given vouchers equal to 70 per cent of the childcare costs (or other allocated amount). These vouchers should be cashable at the post office, like a giro, by the childcare provider each week. The provider should have to show proof or registration on each occasion.
