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? Is there a way to
use them to unlock learning is young children? Schemas: A Practical
Handbook not only explains what schemas are and how to identify
them, but also expands on that knowledge. With the use of pragmatic
ideas, rather than being based solely on theory, it explores how
schemas are useful in developing children's learning alongside what
they already do. The standalone chapters each 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. Laura England further
supports this development with suggestions for enhancements to the
environment, core resources and activities. This step-by-step guide
is essential for practitioners wishing to further their
understanding of children's learning.
