What are schemas and why do they matter? Again! Again! provides an introduction to understanding and supporting schemas and schema play in young children. Practitioners will find an overview of schemas with guidance on where they fit within the EYFS. There are examples of schemas, with illustrations and descriptions of common behaviour patterns, and these are set within the general context of child development. The intention is to help early years practitioners identify schemas and to understand both how important they are and the vital role they play in the growing child's learning. The aim is to help the reader understand how they can develop, plan and resource activities which support children's learning through experiment and play.

This book is an informative and interesting read aimed at first for practitioners but also suitable for parents as it gives ideas for play and development. It helped me as a parent to understand why my toddler was displaying certain behaviour. I felt reassured that what he was doing (throwing and climbing) was an important part of his development and that he wasn't just being naughty! It made me think of ways that I could nurture his focus on certain schemas It also helped me to come up with more ideas for my own work with nursery aged children.

I love this book, easy to read and understand, a great reference and useful when planning for individual children as you learn to recognise their schemas you can pick out activities that they would like. It is also useful to identify how all children are different and the need to differentiate activities to suit all. Also a great book for studying in Early years at any level.
