This book is a fun and focused approach to teaching communication, language and literacy in an inclusive early years setting. The author provides a wide range of activities to encourage the development of children's key skills. The activities will include: key vocabulary; resources needed; a description of the activity; development stages towards early learning goals defined for different learners recognising a breadth of learning abilities; how to assess - inspired from the 'look, listen and note' approach suggested in the EYFS; Discussion ideas; and, Differentiation - ideas for both challenging children and meeting lower ability children including those with English as a second language. This book is a must for early years practitioners.

"This book is great!!!! Its very easy to use and suggests some really fun activities. It's a must for any SENCO or practitioner who has a range of individual needs in their classroom as it differentiates for children with English as an additional language as well as for children with special needs. Its great not to have to use lots of different resources when planning. The free online resources are a big time saver. I also found the section towards the back of the book on how to differentiate for specific needs, such as dyslexia, really useful. Thumbs up!!!" -- Amazon reviewer
