INTRODUCTION Welcome to our 2018 Early Years catalogue! It’s packed full of jargon-free books that are accessible, beautifully laid out, and designed to help make your life easier. Whatever the size of your setting or your role within it, we aim to help you deliver the EYFS and at the same time inspire you with ideas that will enthral the children in your care.

For activities which are easy-to-follow, inexpensive and have a real impact, take a look at our flagship 50 Fantastic Ideas series and the ever-popular Little Books. Or, for your professional development needs, Sally Featherstone’s Making Sense of Neuroscience makes theory digestible and helps you reflect on how best it can be put into practice.

We think Alistair Bryce-Clegg’s Effective Transition into Year One will be an essential book for every Reception teacher and we are also excited by our new titles from Molly Potter which are ideal starting points for discussions on delicate issues such as worries, fears, and bereavement.

There are lots more books we’d like to show you, so enjoy browsing the catalogue, check out the order form for further titles, read our blog (bloomsburyeducation.wordpress.com) or visit bloomsbury.com/education to see more of our fantastic books. And do keep in touch on Twitter or at events – we’d love to hear from you!

COMMUNICATION AND LANGUAGE

A PLACE TO TALK

ALL AVAILABLE AS EBOOKS

Elizabeth Jarman

In A Place to Talk, award-winning international education professional Elizabeth Jarman uses evidence from research, taking account of different learning styles and also preferred contexts for learning, to challenge the way that environments for children are viewed.

Improving children’s speaking and listening skills has never been more important and this exciting, beautifully designed series focuses on the important role that the environment can play in supporting these skills. Descriptions and photographs bring the ideas to life, demonstrating how to create and use a particular area to get children communicating with each other and with their practitioners. Wherever you teach, these books will ensure children are encouraged to talk from an early age to avoid communication and behaviour problems at a later stage in their education.

Case studies in each chapter highlight how to implement good practice in your setting.

Schemas: A Practical Handbook Laura England Why is there always one child who persistently plays with the door, who mixes sand with water or throws objects across the room? Can these repetitive behaviours, known as schemas, be useful in targeting children’s next steps within the EYFS?

The standalone chapters revolve around a particular schema and feature case studies to discuss how that schema can be used to help children progress within the seven areas of learning, as outlined in the EYFS. This step-by-step guide is essential for practitioners wanting to further their understanding of children’s learning.

As an Early Years practitioner, you can influence these children’s learning within your setting, and help them to achieve the same levels as their more affluent peers.

This practical new book will help all staff working with the EYFS to promote a culture of responsibility, safety and trust to reduce the risk of accidents happening in their setting.

This book instead explores what boys are good at, and how we can help them to become more resilient and successful at school and in their future lives.

From Neil Farmer, a highly respected and experienced Early Years consultant, comes a book that will appeal to all practitioners and parents who are interested in how boys develop and how to give them the best possible start in life.
