By providing opportunities for young children to learn from each other and from their communities and families, gifted and talented young learners can be appropriately challenged and recognised within an inclusive setting' -Peter Merrotsy, Senior Lecturer in Gifted and Talented Education, University of New England, Australia 'This is a very helpful and practical book that will help you to further cater for all children in your settings'-Early Years Educator

A wonderful resource for those studying at Level 4 and above. Gifted and Talended is an oftwn overlooked area of educational need, and this book offers example activities for those working G&T children in the Early Years.

Miss Emma Baxter, School of Care, Ystrad Mynach College

This book supported learners to not forget about every child - even the children who are gifted. A must read to add into your classroom delivery.

Mrs Emma Ruth Bleasdale, Education, New College Pontefract

The up-dated edition provides a range of inclusive and developmental theories making strong links to practice. In particular, it offers extended information on the early years, providing practitioners with useful guidance for the early identification of gifted and talented youngsters, along with activities and resources which can be used to appropriately challenge this group of learners. It is clearly presented and easily accessible.

Mrs Karen Southern, School of Education and Community, Glyndwr University

When considering equality it is good to consider the other end of the spectrum and this is a practical way to add these thoughts to the thinking of students. More theory would have been useful.

Mrs Tanya Richardson, School of Education, Northampton University

A valuable text as there is very little available on this topic. a practical and accessible guide which will be invaluable for early years student teachers.
