Early Home Learning Matters: A brief guide for practitioners
The evidence for making early years support an essential part of a child’s development is now incontrovertible. We know that action in the early years represents our biggest chance to sever the link between disadvantage and low achievement. Research tells us that by the age of 22 months the learning development of children from disadvantaged backgrounds can start to slip back behind that of other children from more advantaged backgrounds. We know that the home learning environment is the single biggest influence on a child’s development. If we want to give every child the best possible start in life, in every setting, all our services must be delivered in partnership with parents – mothers and fathers. This book sets out clearly how people working in the early years and those commissioning early years services can support mothers and fathers to offer their child the best possible start in life. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s all about relationships, and we’re all very different. This guide sets out clearly how children develop, and shows the kind of interactions that make a big difference, to children, to parents, and to practitioners.
