Beskrivning
This book guides students and practitioners through the wealth of information on cognition and language development by breaking the area down into manageable chunks and drawing these together into a full understanding of the holistic nature of child development. Children with communication difficulties are at risk of poor outcomes educationally, socially and in employability. Whilst there may be a range of interventions which can help children, it is the practice of those working with them that is the key to success. Therefore a firm understanding of communication development and the ability to adapt teaching to support children’s individual needs are vital.The text offers a balanced approach to the theories and research into the development and acquisition of language and literacy in the early years. It examines how practice can be improved and the impact that language and literacy development has on learning outcomes. It also, importantly, addresses the particular pedagogy related to bilingual and multilingual learners. Carefully structured activities are provided and the text clearly relates theory to practice. Pedagogical features encourage a questioning, challenging and reflective approach, promoting critical thinking throughout.

Recensioner i media

I haven’t found anything that I dislike about this book! It is clearly laid out and easy reading. There is a lot of useful theory analysis too! - Fiona Pavey, Yoevil CollegeI really liked this book and read it almost at one sitting...I particularly liked the layout of the book which was clear. The text was informative and the added elements of critical questions, chapter reflections, developing critical thinking and case studies were particularly useful. - Sharon Drew, University of South WalesThis text is really very good in terms of accessibility and set out clearly and makes it easy to follow through the text and format of sections diagrams and pictures. - Dr Estelle Martin, University of East London
