Play, Learning and the Early Childhood Curriculum by Elizabeth Ann Wood

Play, Learning and the Early Childhood Curriculum by Elizabeth Ann Wood

This book provides a detailed exploration of play, its relationship to learning, and how it can be integrated into the early childhood curriculum. The authors discuss recent theoretical perspectives and insights from research in the United Kingdom, the United States and Europe. They suggest practical strategies for improving the quality of play through structuring play environments and experiences, and developing the teacher′s role. Integrating perspectives from theory, research and practice, this book will be relevant to early childhood educators and students in school and pre-school settings.
