Reducing Educational Disadvantage: A Strategic Approach in the Early Years

By Penny Tassoni (Bloomsbury £19.99)

Children who are most at risk of underachieving are theoretically high on the policy agenda, but causes of disadvantage are often complex and there is a distinct lack of quality guidance on how to help these children through vision and innovative planning in the nursery. This book fills that gap. Leading consultant Penny Tassoni pulls out ‘clues’ from EPPE and other research on quality to suggest key themes for practitioners planning a quality setting. Each chapter features practical help, and one is devoted to bilingual children.
