Book excerpt: The recent I CAN report suggests that over 50% of children in England are starting school with some form of speech and language disability. The EYFS states that 'the development and use of communication and language is at the heart of young children's learning.' This book includes many special spaces created to reflect and extend children's particular interests and needs and to provide a comfortable place for children to talk. Some of the spaces have been developed by the children, giving them 'ownership' of the space. 'This series is exactly what practitioners have been looking for. It tells and shows how to make setting into the kind of places where young children will learn and develop their language skills. It will inspire planning and provision!' (The Senior Assistant Director at NIACE)
