Although this is more or less 40 years old, Donaldson's work is still hugely relevant in education today. The points she makes are well researched, clear and sensible and she makes great pains to bridge the gaps for the reader between Piaget's perhaps unfamiliar and esoteric tenets and her own observations, beliefs and criticisms of his work. As a teacher in a deprived area of EAL children, it has been an affirming experience for me hearing how reading and language are vital skills, necessary strong foundations and pathways to more critical and higher-level learning and thought. It was also interesting to have illuminated the issue of decentralisation and perspective taking - skills you are aware of but perhaps put on autopilot, when in fact they should be given greater attention and consciousness.

Developmental psychologist Margaret Donaldson shows that much of the intellectual framework on which we base our teaching is misleading. We both underestimate the astonishing rational powers of young children and ignore the major stumbling block that children face when starting school.Given a setting and a language that makes sense to them in human terms, very young children can perform tasks often thought to be beyond them. The preschool child learns everything in a human situation. Only in school is he asked to acquire skills--reading, writing, arithmetic--isolated from a real-life context. This transition is difficult.The author suggests a range of strategies that parents and schools can adopt to help children. She argues that reading is even more important than we have thought it to be, since learning to read ca actually speed children through the crucial transition.This book is an essential source of guidance for parents and all who contribute to a child's education.
