Effective Transition into Year One (Learning Activities for Early Years)

Essential reading for all Reception and Year One teachers, presenting a clear and practical map for effective transition to support children''s emotional, social and academic development.

Bestselling author Dr Alistair Bryce-Clegg presents a clear map to support children as they move from the Early Years into Key Stage 1. Helping children make the transition into Year One is a challenge. When done well it can have a significant impact on children’s social, emotional and academic development, but when done badly it can set some children’s development back by up to a year. Dr Bryce-Clegg is determined to help practitioners conquer this challenge.

Having been involved in a number of transition projects that specifically focus on children''s development throughout this period, Alistair draws upon his experience in this book. Packed full of practical ideas to help practitioners to plan for and create an effective learning environment that promotes high levels of attainment in Year One based on the effective principles of EYFS practice, this book should be in every Reception and Year One teacher''s library.
