Series Editors: Jane Johnston and Lindy Nahmad-Williams
This series introduces each of the six areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS):
- Personal, Social and Emotional Development
- Communication, Language and Literacy
- Problem Solving, Reasoning and Numeracy
- Knowledge and Understanding of the World
- Creative Development
- Physical Development
Each book delivers accessible yet rigorous support for practitioners, whether training or qualified, in developing their professional understanding and practice in each of these Early Learning Goals. Whilst considering each area in turn, the aim throughout the series is to promote the holistic development of the child. Each volume includes:
- an introduction to the key area
- consideration of the development of children in the key area from birth to 3 years; 3 to 5 years; and into 5 to 7 years
- consideration of the holistic development of the child and the impact of that development on the key area being discussed
- research evidence to support practice
- practical examples of good practice
- discussions on leadership in the key area
- support in the development of pedagogical skills and reflective professional practice.
In line with the aims of the EYFS, this series will help you in meeting the challenges that come with supporting the different needs of children, working in multi-professional partnerships, balancing the different areas of development, and supporting transitions within and beyond the EYFS.
