Sustained Shared Thinking in the Early Years

By Kathy Brodie (David Fulton, £21.99)

Sustained shared thinking was used as a measure of quality in the ground-breaking Effective Provision of Pre-School Education (EPPE) project, a longitudinal study of a national sample of young children's development. This book explains what sustained shared thinking is and examines the skills and expertise needed to initiate, encourage and facilitate it.

It explores the attitudes, knowledge and understanding that a practitioner must adopt in order to be successful in the area, and contains sections on key theory, practical strategies, and considers children at different ages and stages of development. It also links to different stages of the EYFS.
