This series considers the significant role that the physical environment can play in supporting children's speaking and listening skills; in supporting inquisitive, verbal experimentation, not just answering questions!
The recent I CAN report suggests that over 50% of children in
England are starting school with some form of speech and language
disability. The EYFS states that 'the development and use of
communication and language is at the heart of young children's
learning.'
This book considers the significant role that the
physical environment can play in supporting children's speaking and
listening skills by encouraging inquisitive, verbal experimentation,
not just answering questions! Flexible spaces that are easily set up
and then stored away feature in this book. Lots of ideas for babies
through to teenagers are included, which recognise the needs of
children at different times of the day.
'If you do not buy any other books this year, these are the absolute 'must haves' for your shelf and are well worth the investment...'
