ReviewsWe hear a great deal about the problems teachers encounter when children start in Reception and just haven't mastered the basics they need to benefit from school life, so this is a really important topic. By understanding the situations children find themselves in, Early Years practitioners are better placed to help... The book takes a well-rounded view that extends beyond the Early Learning Goals to look at the child and the situation as a whole, and the practical examples will guide and inform., This book eloquently explores the often misused and rarely understood concept of school readiness by understanding that this involves more than achieving learning goals. By considering preparations for formal teaching methods to be rooted in the Characteristics of Effective Learning, Tamsin brings these concepts to life through personal anecdotes and illustrative case studies in ways immediately familiar to any practitioner., This book eloquently explores the often misused and rarely understood concept of School Readiness by understanding that this involves more than achieving learning goals. By considering preparations for formal teaching methods to be rooted in the Characteristics of Effective Learning, Tamsin brings these concepts to life through personal anecdotes and illustrative case studies in ways immediately familiar to any practitioner., This book eloquently explores the often misused and rarely understood concept of School Readiness by understanding that this involves more than achieving learning goals. By considering preparations for formal teaching methods to be rooted in the Characteristics of Effective Learning, Tasmin brings these concepts to life through personal anecdotes and illustrative case studies in ways immediately familiar to any practitioner., This book provides an invaluable guide to understanding the vexed and contested term of 'school readiness'. By framing it within the 'Characteristics of Effective Learning' it shapes an authentic context for what should underpin definitions of achievement in the EYFS. Its successful balance of practically grounded theory and real life exemplification make it a formidable contribution to the debate., The aim of this book is to contribute to the debate, while putting children's needs and considerations very much at the forefront, and acknowledging all of the key players - school, setting, policy makers, parents, children, press... But most of all children are central to the discussion because they are the ones who will be starting school and undergoing major changes in their daily routine and in the expectations placed on them. They will need high levels of wellbeing, self-awareness, self-esteem to cope with these changes... This is an excellent book.
