STARTING SCHOOL by Liz Brooker
Traces the experiences of children from a poor inner-urban neighbourhood - half of them from Bangladeshi families - as they acquire the knowledge appropriate to their home culture and then take this knowledge to their reception class. This book shows how children succeed and fail from their early days at school.
"..a balanced, finely observed and elegantly written book.
Liz Broker challenges us to move towards a jointly owned culture in the classroom and school through working with families and communities and not only with the children." - Eve Bearne
