The Technology of Child Development "Key to Learning": The Vygotskian Approach to Early Education

In 'Key to Learning' Galina Dolya transforms all the Vygotskian theory of child development into a clear, accessible course of practice for children between the ages of 3 and 7. Through two small-group sessions a day - as part of a language rich, play-based early years curriculum - the twelve strands of the Developmental Cognitive Curriculum provide them with a basic toolkit to develop learning abilities and enable them to access all areas of human knowledge. The book explains the theory behind the practice and gives many examples of sessions that a teacher can implement immediately to see the effectiveness of the approach.
