How Children Learn Book 2

Theories on children's literacy, intelligence and linguistics

Looking at fundamental questions driving educational theorising, How Children Learn Book 2 focuses on, how children learn to read, write and speak, the nature of intelligence and how creativity can be taught.

Book 2 is part of the How Children Learn series which provides a comprehensive yet accessible account of the educational theorising that has shaped and is continuing to shape teaching and learning in the early years. It explores educational thinking from ancient times to the present day, breaks complex ideas down into understandable ones, helps educators relate theory to their experience of children, makes clear how each theory translates into practice and offers guidance on working with and including children with additional special educational needs.
