Reviews
This book eloquently explores the often misused and rarely understood concept of School Readiness by understanding that this involves more than achieving learning goals. By considering preparations for formal teaching methods to be rooted in the Characteristics of Effective Learning, Tamsin brings these concepts to life through personal anecdotes and illustrative case studies in ways immediately familiar to any practitioner. -- Kathryn Peckham, Early Years Professional and author of Developing School Readiness: Creating Lifelong Learners

By framing it within the 'Characteristics of Effective Learning' it shapes an authentic context for what should underpin definitions of achievement in the EYFS. Its successful balance of practically grounded theory and real life exemplification make it a formidable contribution to the debate. -- Jan Dubiel, International Director, Early Excellence
