With the introduction of the new Early Years Foundation Stage in 2008, practitioners need to be able to meet the needs of all young children in the six areas of learning—one of which is communication, language and literacy.

Communication, Language and Literacy from Birth to Five helps the reader develop their knowledge, skills and practice in encouraging and promoting communication, language and literacy for babies and young children.

It includes:

  • activities, examples, case studies and ideas from actual practice
  • guidance on how to meet children's diverse needs in an inclusive environment
  • advice on involving parents in their children's learning
  • resources, useful websites and suggestions for further reading

Clear text. Easy to use. Very good case studies interspersed within text offer examples in practice. These could form the basis for a class discussion, along with the questions for reflection and discussion at the end of each chapter.
