Reviewed by Mary Garry, nursery head at Sighthill Nursery, Glasgow This book is informative, practical and an interesting read for anyone who works with asylum seeker and refugee families. It identifies and expands on everyday difficulties and provides examples of good practice.
The author has carried out in-depth research, particularly in Part Three, which provides very useful information on the background of various countries. There is detailed referencing throughout the book.
Chapters 7 and 8, exploring the role of the EAL teacher and bilingualism, are helpful and provide good arguments on many issues which are at the core of the progression of these young people through the education system.
