A practical guide to supporting EAL learners in every aspect of their early years education.

The number of children in UK schools who speak English as an Additional Language (EAL) has doubled since 1997 to more than a million. There is no formal teaching specialism qualification in EAL, teacher training courses only briefly touch on the issue - and yet the EYFS requires practitioners to do all they can to provide for these children.

This book offers guidance on how to welcome and provide for children and their families, whilst taking into consideration their unique identities and culture. Straight- forward activity ideas link to all areas of the curriculum and aim to support language acquisition. You will also find guidance on observation, assessment and planning that is specific to meeting the needs of EAL learners.

Industry Reviews

"This is a helpful book that shows how and why bridging home and school for a child with EAL is so important. It includes so many sensible and practical ideas, such as visual timetables and reminders that will support a child with EAL settle more successfully into their setting." -- June O'Sullivan MBE, Chief Executive, London Early Years Foundation
