This book helped students in preparing for their introductory professional practice and better understanding the importance of observing young children to assist in finding out about their learning and development, which in turn would support their planning and assessment of pupils. It also connected quite nicely to our play module and how important our observations of children at play were. -- Mrs Helen Dunn * drupal *
