Observing and Developing Schematic Behaviour in Young Children

by Tamsin Grimmer
(Jessica Kingsley
Publishers, £14.99)

This guide looks at schemas in plain English. From looking at the brain and how theorists first discovered schematic behaviour, to observing children, the book then moves onto looking at 13 different schemas in detail, such as connection, rotation and transportation. Case studies and practical observations bring to life how to interpret schematic behaviour to benefit the child.

See the author’s article on the subject, ‘To the core’, in Nursery World’s 4 September
2017 issue.
