Practical, insightful and logical, necessary components of a key course text when starting out on an Earlychildhood Education Degree. Key factors outlined to aid the development of a Policy for Inclusive Play within early years settings
I like the examples of play that are used in this book, however, since my class is theory based I will only recommend it to the students as supplemental reading. I will recommend it to my colleague who teaches the practicle element of the course.
very useful book across a number of courses.
A clear and easy to read text, which includes many very practical suggestions and presents a coherent view of good practice.
The contents of this allows students to delve further into play, and allows for an easy read for undergraduates completing the play module. Great on the reading list
Use to support newly revalidated SEND and Play modules for early years - includes case studies and ideas of observations too
An excellent text which outlines the importance of inclusive play; essential for students engaging with placement for the first time.
Practical book about play.
An excellent resource of startagies to support learning through play with young children. An excellent guide for early years practitioners and those who work with parents.
This book will be used to supplement various taught sessions for the module on Communication, Learning and Play. The first year B.Ed students will be doing placements in Children's Centres across London, and therefore need to take into account issues about diversity and inclusion.
