Excellent supplement to an outstanding text.,

This review is from: Readings on the Development of Children, Third Edition (Paperback)
Gauvain and Cole's "Readings on the Development of Children-3d Edition" is an excellent supplement to an outstanding text. Where so many "workbook" type supplements are little more than an encapsulation of material already covered in the main text, "Readings..." is a collection of classic and contemporary articles that provides an excellent springboard for discussion in graduate level seminars. I especially like the fact that each reading is followed by discussion questions that encourage studentts to think more broadly about key concepts.

not what i was looking for,
By A Customer
This review is from: Readings on the Development of Children (Hardcover)
I was very disappointed in this book. I expected it to directly support the text but it was simply a collection of articles. While the articles were useful, I was expecting the "readings" to be more closely tied to the text.

Readings Review,
By lacey rader (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Readings on the Development of Children (Paperback)
This book was not what I expected. It is too technical to use as a reference guide if your in college. The title of the book is very misleading. It should be titled research and data.
