How children learn Bk2: Theories on children’s literacy, intelligence and linguistics


By Linda Pound

(Revised issue)

The How Children Learn series provides a comprehensive yet accessible account of the educational theorising that has shaped and is continuing to shape teaching and learning in the early years. It explores educational thinking from ancient times to the present day, breaks complex ideas down into understandable ones, helps educators relate theory to their experience of children, makes clear how each theory translates into practice and offers guidance on working with and including children with additional special educational needs.

Book 2 looks at fundamental questions driving educational theorising, such as: How do children learn to read, write and speak? What is the nature of intelligence? Can creativity be taught?
