Essentials of Literacy from 0-7: A Whole-Child Approach to Communication, Language and Literacy
Children flourish in their development and learning when practitioners and parents work together. Children′s development and learning are further enhanced when interconnected knowledge and understanding work together. In this new edition the authors guide readers in understanding of child development. They highlight the need for those who work with young children to become reflective practitioners. Through a focus on the introduction of nursery rhymes, finger rhymes, action songs and poetry cards, the authors provide a gentle, child-friendly way to develop literacy 0-7.

Too EYFS focused for me - 1*
Although this book states that it is 0-7, there was barely any mention of KS1 which is what I was looking for. I am aware of EYFS practice (for obvious developmental reasons) but I don't read in depth into it because it is not my area of focus.
So I didn't really enjoy this book.
