Learning Language and Loving It

By Elaine Weitzman and Janice Greenberg (Hanen Centre, 40.48 on Amazon, 9780921145189)

Learning Language and Loving It: A guide to promoting children's social, language and literacy development in early childhood settings

A user-friendly resource for early years practitioners and speech and language professionals who will already know about the work of the Canada-based Hanen Centre. With the book's title taken from a Hanen training programme, this second edition is updated with new research and is geared to a wide range of developmental levels.

A range of approaches are covered, including letting the child lead, taking turns and letting language lead to literacy, and the book provides interactive practical scenarios which readers will easily be able to relate to. Developing the skills and awareness to enable all children to participate and progress is also key to the book's coverage.
