This book is for all early years practitioners working with young children in nursery schools, preschools and day nurseries together with childminders and nannies working as home-based child carers. The focus of the book is to offer activities and guidance for practitioners working with children learning English as an additinal language. However, the approach described and the practical activities included will work well with all children who need support to improve their confidence and language skills. The development and use of communication and language are at the heart of all children’s learning and the way in which young children are able to experience and become involved in stories, rhymes, music, poetry and language will affect their progress and enjoyment in all areas of the early years curriculum. This is an exciting time to be work-ing in the early years. Practitioners are keen to develop their skills and knowledge and to gain higher levels of qualifications such as an Early Childhood degree, a Foundation degree or the Early Years Professional status. The higher the qualification of the adult working with young children, the better quality of teaching they are likely to have.
