520			_aPublisher description: Play is the natural way for children to explore, learn, and build skills. This has been a core concept of the early care and education field for a century, and extensive empirical research has documented the value of play for cognitive and social development. Despite the evidence, educators and policymakers are now reexamining the preschool curriculum and substituting formal instruction in reading readiness for the free play periods, and this narrow emphasis on cognitive development, has serious implications for early care and education. In Children's Play, leading experts contribute to and inform the current national debate. Contributors examine recent policy decisions and demonstrate the importance of play in helping children learn basic literacy skills, social awareness, and creative problem solving. Readers will also find a comprehensive summary of the developmental benefits of play, examples of how research has been applied in practice, a multicultural perspective on play, and ideas for how to play imaginative games with children.
