Recent Product Reviews:

This is another easy to read and supportive book that works well alongside communication modules of the Early Years degree. With recommendations of activities students can try or adapt for their own placements. I will be recommending this book to students to support them with writing their case studies, but also to help develop their knowledge of activities to help develop communication.
Miss Stefanie Crinks, Children and Young People, South Devon College
With the increase in children presenting at nursery with speech difficulties this gives an understanding of what children should be doing before they reach that stage. A well presented book.
Mrs Pamela Canning, early , North West Institute
What an excellent book giving really practical guidance to undergraduate early years students.
Mrs Heather Macdonald, Education , Chester University
'This book will be an invaluable support: a treasure-chest of superb resources, materials, ideas and suggestions for the busy early years practitioner who is keen to develop the language of the children in their care. The CD-ROM will save some of that precious time we all strive to expand, and the practical strategies offered will be a boon to practice in the setting' - Collette Drifte
