Enhancing Learning Through Play
By highlighting the learning potential with different play activities, this book shows how play can complement and enhance the social, emotional, perceptual motor and intellectual development of children in their early years.
Identifying Additional Learning Needs
Based on the lives of real children and typical situations in early years settings, early years practitioners will find this book invaluable in helping them care for and educate young children with additional learning difficulties.
The Art of Action Research in the Classroom
First Published in 2000. Based on the real-life experiences of teachers and student teachers using action research for the first time, this introductory text demystifies the issues commonly faced by the novice researcher. In an accessible and user-friendly style, the author explains how: the principles of action research can be effectively applied; small scale classroom research can discover important cues to aid learning; to implement action research in different curricular areas, individually or in groups, and with children of different abilities; the whole endeavour can be structured to form an undergraduate or postgraduate thesis. This book, which is suitable for use in nursery, primary and secondary schools, will be invaluable to any education professional wishing to progress from observing what happens in the classroom, to actually explaining why.
Play for Children with Special Needs
This book will help practitioners to ensure that they are doing all they can to include children with special educational needs. The author looks at several conditions such as Asperger's Syndrome, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Down's Syndrome and ADD/ADHD and shows how play can be adapted to help alleviate the difficulties children with these additional needs might have. As more and more children with a higher level of special need come into mainstream schools, teachers, nursery nurses and teaching assistants have the responsibility of ensuring that they have access to all aspects of learning. This book offers guidance on what play is, how to adapt activities to suit children with special needs, how play can help recognition of children's progress, the most common types of special need, how play can be used to help raise self-esteem, and resources for further help. Written for those working in mainstream settings, the author shows how including children who have special needs in play can help to provide great opportunities for learning and for developing social and communication skills.
Play for Children with Special Needs
This fully revised edition of Play for Children with Special Needs includes new research findings and explains their implications for practice.
Enhancing Learning Through Play
By highlighting the learning potential within different play activities, this book shows how play can complement and enhance the social, emotional, perceptual motor and intellectual development of children in their early years.Each of these aspects are explored in depth, so that early years practitioners may understand why children behave as they do at different ages and stages in their development. Understanding children in their own context underlies decisions for intervention or non-intervention in their play, and this text shows how this can be done sensitively and in a manner which supports and extends their learning. Related issues of immense importance to children and their carers are discussed, such as, the development of emotional intelligence, gender bias and making friends, suggestions to help children who find play difficult.This book should be of interest to early years teachers, nursery nurses, classroom assistants and parents.
Identifying and Supporting Children with Specific Learning Difficulties
By highlighting the myriad of over-laps between learning difficulties, as well as questioning many assumptions about certain conditions, the authors of this book take a uniquely holistic angle on inclusive education.
Dyspraxia in the Early Years
This text shows professionals who are working in early years settings how to understand the specific difficulties a child with dyspraxia may encounter. It encourages them to consider the wider implications of the disorder for both home and school environments. The author demonstrates clearly and practically: how existing classroom conditions and routines can be adapted to encompass the needs of the child with dyspraxia or motor difficulties; the checklists and oservation schedules which can be used to give a fuller picture of the problems facing such a child; how to breakdown the basic movement patterns into different competency levels so that progress can be made via appropriate teaching points; and how analysing the movement patterns of a child can reveal their cognitive development.
Dyspraxia 5-14
This fully revised edition of Christine Macintyre's invaluable companion explains the difficulties faced by children with dyspraxia in growing up.
Early Intervention in Movement
This text is full of practical ideas to help all early years children enjoy developing their movement abilities. Each activity uses rhymes and jingles and some have music. This is to enhance the children's rhythmic ability, their listening skills and their phonological awareness. There are many activities that form the basis of lesson plans. The material shows how the learning outcomes fulfil the criteria set out in the Curriculum Guidance for the Foundation Stage and the 5-14 Guidelines (Expressive Arts). The activities will be great fun for all children, whether they find movement easy and are always on the look-out for challenges, or whether they are less confident. The book aims to suppo...
