Seeing young children as competent and capable social actors, The Theory and Practice of Voice in Early Childhood looks at how we can better understand young children’s perspectives. Drawing on the ‘Look Who’s Talking’ project, it focuses on the eight talking point posters: voice, democracy, culture, listen with purpose, space and place, skills and tools, enable and build capacity to help readers critically reflect on what voice means to them and for the children with whom they work.

Combining the work of scholars and academics with front line workers and practitioners, each section groups two of the posters and provides an overview of the key theory followed by international case studies to illustrate how this thinking might be translated into practice. The book looks at all aspects of children’s voice and how to ensure that all children, including those traditionally viewed as too young, with special needs or too disengaged, have a voice.

Including reflections and suggesting points for exploration and dialogue between practitioners, families and children, this will be valuable reading for those who wish to make the ideological principles of children’s voice a practical reality.

Reviews for The Theory and Practice of Voice in Early Childhood: An International Exploration

In recent years the issue of children's rights in education, including the right to be heard, has, rightly, been acknowledged as of great importance. This timely book provides a wealth of practical examples of innovative ways in which young children can be supported to make their voices heard and theories that justify the approaches that are taken. In doing so, the book offers a rich resource for those looking for ways to ensure that young children are engaged and interested in their learning from the beginning, those both starting out in the field of early years education, as well as the more experienced.
