Reviews

An extremely practical, accessible guide to putting brain-based research into action in foundation stage settings. Children taught like this will be at a huge advantage in the acquisition of literacy skills... indeed, in all their learning.
*Sue Palmer, Literacy Specialist *

Many of the ideas and suggestions in the book can be used to support approaches and ways of working that are used in a wide variety of different early years settings.
*Early Years Update*

"These are by no means tick lists, but thought-provoking ideas that will move practitioners on in terms of fun, creativity and innovation... It is an indispensable resource that no practitioner, or those in training, should be without."
*Martine Horvath, Early Years Educator*
