“Although based on the US education system, the content is relevant to UK educators looking for a structure and rationale to support high-quality early education that recognises the significance of paying explicit attention to, and intervention in, children’s foundational cognitive skills. This book summarises extensive research in a user-friendly format.” – SEN Magazine

Hands On, Minds On describes the importance of children’s foundational cognitive skills for academic achievement in literacy and mathematics, as well as their connections with other areas of school readiness, including physical health and social and emotional development. It also examines the growing evidence in favor of guided object play.
