Understanding how young children learn : bringing the science of child development to the classroom

Summary: This book looks at what research on children's motivation, attention, memory, and cognition and action means for classroom practice. It highlights processes that propel learning - play, confidence, self-regulation, movement, mnemonic strategies, metacognition, articulation, and collaboration - and presents activities that demonstrate how teachers can put theory into practice.
