FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book builds upon Dr Alistair Bryce-Cleggs previous title Continuous Provision in the Early Years. Continuous Provision: The Skills is designed to show practitioners what effective continuous provision should look like and how practitioners can link their provision directly to assessment. It has an emphasis on skill-based learning. Dr Alistair Bryce-Clegg shows the difference between pure skills, skills related to specific areas of continuous provision like sand, water and role play, and facilitative skills that children can experience throughout a setting, in many different areas and activities. This book looks at all areas of continuous provision with a view to helping practitioners to identify, assess and teach different pure and facilitative skills.The other essential element for really good continuous provision is a measure of open-ended experience, to allow children to use their own creativity and curiosity to interpret and use what they see around them. This book provides plenty of suggestions to make activities interesting and engaging for children, to encourage them to challenge themselves and learn new skills. Notes Based on Alistair Bryce-Cleggss extensive experience in school, this book brings together his knowledge of Continuous Provision and the high level impact and engagement that it can bring.

Long Description In his original book - Continuous Provision, Alistair Bryce-Clegg covered what effective continuous provision should look like and how practitioners could achieve it by linking their provision directly to assessment. This new title: The Skills, demonstrates that in every area of continuous provision (like sand, water, role play, small world etc) there are pure skills that children can only learn in that area and there are facilitative skills that children can learn through that area. Each of these pure and facilitative skills needs to be acknowledged, assessed and taught and this is the premise of this new title...In Continuous Provision:The Skills, Alistair Bryce-Clegg addresses the following:..Revisits (briefly) the principles of effective continuous provision Looks at each area of continuous provision in turn and identifies a range of pure and facilitative skills Shows how the provision itself (resources) should be leveled top, middle and emergent to meet the development needs of all children irrespective of how old they are. Gives some comprehensive examples of how to break those skills down into top, middle, emergent e.g. in Paint he identifies skills that children need to learn when using paint like texturising, application, printing etc. He then takes each of those skills individually and show how a skill like printing could be broken down into three broad stages. Asks and answers questions like: What would really basic, lower level printing look like? What sort of resources would facilitate effective learning in this area of development..By the end of the book the practitioner should have a really practical guide to differentiated skill development in continuous provision.
