thinking critically. The book also considers how we can ensure
schools are ready to receive children and suggests ways in which
preschools and nurseries can work collaboratively with schools and
engage parents and carers to ensure a smooth transition.
Observing and understanding schematic behaviour confidently is
vital for anyone working with or looking after young children. This
guide explains what schemas are, stripping back the technical
language often used to describe them, and how to interpret and
extend schematic behaviour to benefit the child. It looks
specifically at 12 different schemas, such as connection, rotation
and transportation, and includes case studies, interpretation of
the observations and practical ideas for how to use this
information to aid children's learning, development and play.
Making schemas and schematic behaviour more understandable, this
book will give early years practitioners and parents the confidence
to identify schemas and plan future learning opportunities to
support children based on this knowledge.
