A Place To Talk In Pack-away Settings

The recent I CAN report suggests that over 50% of children in England are starting school with some form of speech and language disability. The EYFS states that 'the development and use of communication and language is at the heart of young children's learning.' This book considers the significant role that the physical environment can play in supporting children's speaking and listening skills and in supporting inquisitive, verbal experimentation. Not only providing examples of an 'instant' space or an enclosed, child height space, this book also has action points and useful resources to inspire all early years practitioners.
