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.
