The Original Learning Approach Reading

This page connects to my book published by Redleaf  Press -

The Original Learning Approach: Weaving Together Playing, Learning and Teaching Together in Early Childhood.

 

Here you will find reading, listening and watching that has inspired me over the years. This is a constant work in process as it will be added to over time - things I have not yet found, things I have forgotten and things that are yet to be shared with the world.

​

Each chapter has its own section with suggestions of what to read, listen and watch in order to deepen your understanding of what I have written in my book. I have not included my references in the book here, this is an extra suggested reading list.
