This fascinating account of an unusual research project challenges
many assumptions about how young children learn and how best to
teach them. In particular it turns upside-down the commonly held
belief that professionals know better than parents how to educate
and bring up children; and it throws doubt on the theory that
working-class children underachieve at school because of a language
deficit at home. The second edition of this bestselling text
includes a new introduction by Judy Dunn.
