Supporting Drama and Imaginative Play in the Early Years by Lesley Hendy
Written for the wide range of practitioners working with young children, this book gives guidance on both the theory and the practical management of drama in the Early Years. The relationship between 'pretend play' and the cognitive and affective development of young children is emphasised, having much to inform us about the children in our care.
“This book makes for both an exciting and informative readExciting because it offers both a theoretical framework combined with excellent examples of classroom experience. The over view of play theories presented at the beginning of the book is clearly written, and offers powerful justification for the place that drama and imaginative play should have in the education of all children, not just those in the Early Years.” – Early Years
