Combining theoretical perspectives with practical activities, the Second Edition of Gifted and Talented in the Early Years offers clear guidance on how to ensure you and your setting can identify and provide for very young children in your care who are gifted and talented. With an emphasis on providing the best learning opportunities for all, there is advice for teachers and all staff working in early years settings. Everything suggested has been tried and tested by author Margaret Sutherland in her work with children over many years as a specialist in this field.
