These three posters are ideal for displaying in early years settings for practitioners or parents to read.

The characteristics of effective teaching and learning are:

Playing and Exploring - Children investigate and experience things and ‘have a go’.
Active Learning - Children concentrate and keep on trying if they encounter difficulties and enjoy achievements.
Creating and Thinking Critically - Children have and develop their own ideas, make links between ideas and develop strategies for doing things.

They are bright and easy to read, and a useful tool for early years practisioners.
