School Readiness Matters: Embedded and Threaded Transitions

As growing concerns emerge over the narrowing definitions of school readiness in policy and practice, School Readiness Matters invites a fresh dialogue, presenting real-lifecase studies, research- informed guidance, and practitioner perspectives to support embedded and threaded transitions that honour each child's unique journey. Edited by Kerrie Lee (University of Hull) and Viki Veale (St Marys University), this timely and essential text brings together the voices of educators, academics, and early years advocates to explore what it truly means to support children through the vital transition into school based settings. School Readiness Matters is an essential read for early childhood educators, schoolleaders, policymakers, and all those working to ensure that children are not simply ready for school, but that schools are ready for children.
