Publisher's Synopsis
The transition from Reception to Key Stage 1 can be difficult. With children expected to be 'school ready', it is important that settings are prepared to help with this change or be 'child ready'. The authors of this book draw on their significant experience to provide effective guidelines on ways in which to help children move towards being developmentally ready for more formal learning. Having laid clear foundations for effective practice, the authors apply this thinking to twelve 'launchpads to learning'. Each launchpad includes activities for continuous, enhanced and targeted provision. Each activity provides clear guidance on what you need, what to do and what learning possibilities are involved. -- Publisher's website.
