How does the home experience of children from poor and ethnic minority communities influence their adaptation to school? How does the traditional child-centred and progressive pedagogy of early years classrooms meet the needs of children from culturally diverse backgrounds? This title seeks to address these key questions by tracing the learning experiences of individual children from a poor inner-urban neighbourhood - half of them from Bangladeshi families - as they acquire the knowledge appropriate to their home culture and then take this knowledge to their reception class.

In other words, it shows how children succeed and fail from their early days at school.
