Rezensionen

"Assessing Neuromotor Readiness for Learning is not so much
bedtime reading for the lay person, as it is a beautifully produced
screening and intervention manual for practitioners and
professionals working with young children - a substantially
revised and expanded edition of the long-established and rigorously
evaluated INPP training manual." Mother Magazine 2012

This book clearly identifies the importance of movement as a
cornerstone for learning. In particular, it highlights how
traces of early reflexes, which are usually subsumed into more
complex and voluntary movement, can impact a child's ability
to carry out activities which crucially support a child's
ability to read, write, focus and pay attention.

The tests and exercises are not a diagnostic tool, but with
training are to be used as a screening device to help teachers
understand further the difficulties of some children in their
school, and to re-evaluate their needs and provide an effective
intervention programme. The programme identified in the book
should, in my view, be part of all teacher training.

--Maria Robinson, Independent Adviser in
Early Years Development

Sally Goddard-Blythe has worked for many years to help young
children respond to the demanding tasks of school: speaking and
understanding speech, reading and writing, and the logic of using
tools. All depend on moving with balance and versatility, and with
clear sight and hearing. In this rich manual for screening and
development of motor awareness, teachers and other professionals
working with children aged 4 to 7 and upward, are offered the fruit
of Sally Goddard Blythe's four decades of research and
practice. Assessing Neuromotor Readiness for Learning will
help to give every child confidence and pleasure in moving to
learn.

Child Psychology and Psychobiology, University of Edinburgh
