AnonyMouse_8466 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Have you seen the Communication Friendly Spaces books "A Place to Talk at..."? There's one for pre-schools, one for packaways (!) and I think one for day nurseries. Very clear and simple explanation of what a communication friendly space is and how to make them (or enable the children to make them) in a variety of settings, taking into account the challenges and advantages of each. Here's the link - I just saw that they also have a version for childminders and children's centres, too! Or, how about Sally Featherstone's books? Again! Again! is fab about schemas Like Bees, not Butterflies is also fab about child initiated learning Will have a think about under 3s... and am looking forward to reading other people's suggestions. Lucky groups! Can't I move into your LA temporarily? Maz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_1027 Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 thanks M - anyone else 0-3 books apart from Elinor Goldschmied!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_8466 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 How about this book by Cathy Nutbrown and Jools Page? Working with babies and young children: birth to three - published in 2008. The link is to the 'look inside' page and it seems to be a mix of theory (what do we know about babies under three?) and what good practice looks like (what can I do?). Might be worth a look!
