About this title

Review

'The addition of Developmentally Appropriate Practices as well as key points even enhances the chapters more.' - Jeanne Barker, MS, Tallahassee Community College, Tallahassee, FL 'I was particularly pleased to see that the author has addressed the specific issues of infants and toddlers, children with disabilities, and school-aged children, a fact that enhances the quality of the text immeasurably.' - Linda Gamble, M.Ed., University of Maine at Farmington, Farmington, ME 'Overall, I liked the emphasis on families. The Key Questions throughout (and I liked the way they were not just at the end of the chapter, but embedded within) offer opportunities for application, which encourages ownership of what the student is reading. I also liked the websites that were listed as resources along with the more typical print resources.' - Gail Summer, Ed.D., Lenoir-Rhyne College, Hickory, NC aThe addition of Developmentally Appropriate Practices as well as key points even enhances the chapters more.a - Jeanne Barker, MS, Tallahassee Community College, Tallahassee, FL aI was particularly pleased to see that the author has addressed the specific issues of infants and toddlers, children with disabilities, and school-aged children, a fact that enhances the quality of the text immeasurably.a - Linda Gamble, M.Ed., University of Maine at Farmington, Farmington, ME aOverall, I liked the emphasis on families.
