Chapter One: Introduction
The overall aims of the book
The nature of the research which informs much of the book
What about transition?
Chapter Two: What are the issues for children?
Getting the children’s perspectives on issues of transition right
Examples of brief interviews with children about their transition from Reception Class to Year One
What issues do children have with transition from Foundation Stage to Year One?
So what are the children telling us about their needs for transition to
Year One?
Children identified as having special educational needs
Chapter Three: What are the issues for parents and practitioners?
What are the issues about transition for parents?
Issues identified by teachers in three case study settings
Chapter Four: Preparation or practice?
What happens during preparation for transition? This looks at two aspects: establishing familiarity and consideration of practice, using three case study settings as examples.
The impact of changing practice as part of transition. This compares Reception Class and Year One practice in the three case study settings, and includes the children’s perspectives.
Chapter Five: The features of successful transition between Reception Class and
Year One
This first part of the chapter lists the features of successful transition between Reception Class and Year One. This is intentionally brief as it leaves the reflection to the reader.
The second part of the chapter has case studies of two boys who transferred from the same Reception Class into different Year One Classes. The case studies provide an opportunity to examine their differing experiences.
The chapter concludes with a table for teachers to use to reflect on their provision ‘Transition Check for Reception and Year One Teachers
Chapter Six: Why should Foundation Stage practice be introduced to Year One?
This chapter attempts to justify the transformation of practice in Year One a) to aid transition and b) because it is more suitable for the way young children learn.
It examines the issue of supporting learning and development through play in Year One.
Chapter Seven: A principled approach to planning in Year One
This chapter briefly examines the principles for planning in Year One that allow
1) children to meet the expectations of national guidelines and
2) age appropriate experiences that will support the development of positive dispositions to learning.
The second part of the chapter considers some examples of planning frameworks for Year One that 1) provide suitable experiences for the children and 2) take into consideration the need to check children’s progress against national requirements.
Chapter Eight: Moving to Year One – opportunity for continuity and for change
Opportunities for reflection, development and children’s rights
Ideas for change. This section focuses on four aspects which are common issues during the transition period: outdoors, music, time management, play.
Chapter Nine: Summary and recommendations
