The books are designed to be used with children aged 3-5 and beyond, across nursery and reception, and contain:Clear instructions for using the resource in whole class sampling, as well as with individual children, including those with additional needs. Assessment pages for 150 concepts across two books, brought to life with engaging illustrations.
