Live, Love and Learn provides an intriguing and highly accessible guide to how young children learn and how you can support their learning.

Parents, grandparents and carers who interact regularly with children from birth to six years play an integral part in the development of the child's literacy skills. With reference to extensive practical experience in the field of early literacy development in families, Laurie Makin discusses the importance of these everyday interactions in the areas of listening, speaking, reading, writing and critical thinking, and focuses on increasing families' awareness of the impact they have on improving children's literacy skills in the early years. She includes activities for families to further assist their children's development and a guide to the development stages.
