In her new edition of this popular book, Cathy Nutbrown presents evidence of continuity and progression in young childrenâ²s thinking. She shows, with detailed observation, that they are able and active learners. She considers aspects of childrenâ²s patterns of learning and thinking - or schemas - and demonstrates clearly how children learn in an active, dynamic and creative way.

This book makes schema theory explicit in practice. Supported by numerous detailed examples and the discussion of difficult theoretical issues, it illustrates childrenâ²s learning in areas such as literacy, maths and science.

This new edition includes:

- discussion on the need for professional development

- changes in early years pedagogy

- more discussion of theories of learning in relation to curriculum and teaching practices

- new examples of childrenâ²s drawings

- new suggestions for using stories to support schemas.

Threads of Thinking is for early years practitioners who wish to support and develop childrenâ²s learning.

Professor Cathy Nutbrown is Director of Studies in Early Childhood Education at the University of Sheffield.

Industry Reviews

Praise for the previous edition: 'Cathy Nutbrown is able to discuss difficult theoretical issues with a lightness of touch and to illustrate those issues with clear observations from children. Accessibility is combined with depth. The scope of the book is comprehensive but detailed. She covers most of the early education issues of the day in ways that will encourage professionals to develop a more coherent and meaningful pedagogy than exists at the present time' - Chris Athey
