Brock (education, Leeds Metropolitan U., UK) and Rankin, a librarian at Leeds Metropolitan U., describe how teachers working with children from birth to age five can develop their knowledge, skills, and practice in promoting communication, language, and literacy. They provide activities, examples, case studies, scenarios, and ideas from practice, and advice on how to involve parents and meet children's diverse needs in an inclusive classroom. They cover language development, the intelligence of babies, gender issues, special educational needs, communication, playful reading and writing, and using stories, rhymes, rhythm, sound-alouds, and other activities.
