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.
Introduction
This is a link to a padlet I have created - it has all sorts of links connected to play and is another way of finding out more https://padlet.com/saxel177cm/6omxjdg5euu4ovzt
