Extending Thought in Young Children: A Parent-Teacher Partnership

In this fully revised version of Chris Athey's classic text, the author builds on her original research with new illustrations of 'continuity' in children's thinking from early to primary education. Drawing on her extensive experience and research evidence, she explains how teachers of young children can advance professionally towards a greater knowledge of young children's thinking and learning. The book covers: 'forms of thought' used by young children; assimilation of curriculum content; pedagogy; parental participation; and, the politics of early education.
