′This Third Edition of Marian Whitehead′s book Language and Literacy in the Early Years is a welcome update of an already key text for early years educators. This new edition reflects continuing research over the last 20 years in the field of language and literacy development whilst also embracing recent developments and initiatives which have influenced early years education. Marian has broadened the context of early years education beyond the classroom, acknowledging the variety of settings and professionals who are now involved in educating and developing young children from birth onwards. The text relates theory and practice in an easily readable form with particularly helpful sections on key terminology and summaries within each chapter. A most useful, practical text which no early years practitioner should be without′ - Jacqueline Barbera, Director of Undergraduate ITT, Liverpool Hope University College
