"Assessing Neuromotor Readiness for Learning is not so muchbedtime reading for the lay person, as it is a beautifully producedscreening and intervention manual for practitioners andprofessionals working with young children - a substantiallyrevised and expanded edition of the long-established and rigorouslyevaluated INPP training manual." Mother Magazine 2012This book clearly identifies the importance of movement as acornerstone for learning. In particular, it highlights howtraces of early reflexes, which are usually subsumed into morecomplex and voluntary movement, can impact a child's abilityto carry out activities which crucially support a child'sability to read, write, focus and pay attention. The tests and exercises are not a diagnostic tool, but withtraining are to be used as a screening device to help teachersunderstand further the difficulties of some children in theirschool, and to re-evaluate their needs and provide an effectiveintervention programme. The programme identified in the bookshould, in my view, be part of all teacher training. --Maria Robinson, Independent Adviser inEarly Years Development Sally Goddard-Blythe has worked for many years to help youngchildren respond to the demanding tasks of school: speaking andunderstanding speech, reading and writing, and the logic of usingtools. All depend on moving with balance and versatility, and withclear sight and hearing. In this rich manual for screening anddevelopment of motor awareness, teachers and other professionalsworking with children aged 4 to 7 and upward, are offered the fruitof Sally Goddard Blythe's four decades of research andpractice. Assessing Neuromotor Readiness for Learning willhelp to give every child confidence and pleasure in moving tolearn. --Colwyn Trevarthen, Professor Emeritus ofChild Psychology and Psychobiology, University of Edinburgh
