Early Childhood and Primary Education: Readings and Reflections

by Jane Johnston and John Halocha (Open University Press, 21.99, ISBN: 9780335236565)

This book explores the philosophical and historical ideas underpinning practice in early childhood and primary education. It pulls together key extracts from influential sources and provides helpful editorial commentary explaining the importance of each article. Reflective tasks provide opportunities for the reader to stand back from current practice and beliefs to review their own philosophy of education.
