Play is the Way

Sue Palmer (Editor)

Always the Cinderella of the education system, the significance of early

years has been seriously under-estimated. Play is the Way brings

together leading practitioners, policy-makers and academics to explain

how a coherent approach to early years – centred on positive relationships

and play – will not only result in better educational performance but in

greatly improved health and well-being for future Scottish citizens. They

challenge the deeply-ingrained cultural acceptance, throughout Scotland

and the rest of the UK, that formal instruction in the three Rs (reading,

’riting and ’rithmetic) should begin at the age of four or five – at least a

year before other European countries.
