The book is divided into two sections, the first drawing on the latest research to outline the importance of play in a child's development and emotional engagement in learning. The second section provides practical support and examples for how to embed play in a school curriculum to enhance young children's learning. The practical section covers setting up an environment for guided play, demonstrating how to assess learning from play-based activities and how to report on outcomes, supported by checklists, vignettes, and case studies.
