N2  - "This new edition of a very successful and influential book shows how play and literacy can combine to help young children develop a more complete understanding of writing, as well as literacy more generally. In addition to discussing the implications of the new Guidance for the Foundation Stage, the authors use recent research to extend the discussion of how and why play and literacy work together so powerfully, and provide further advice on planning and developing effective experiences. Early years practitioners will find that this book helps them to focus on the development of literacy knowledge and skills."--BOOK JACKET
