This print and digital student book has been developed from extensive research with teachers. It covers all the units for the redeveloped Cambridge National in Child Development, with an easy-to-follow visual layout and accessible language to stimulate students’ interest. Takes a scaffolded, activity-based approach to understanding all of the content, written at just the right level, helping to engage students in their learning and give them the confidence to progress. Helps students to develop the knowledge and skills to complete their assessments. Bite-sized learning topics build understanding of essential concepts and are supported by ‘real-life’ contextualised case studies with three levels of differentiated questions to support all students. An enhanced Glossary includes explanations of key subject terminology to aid understanding and help students to present information clearly and accurately. Three different types of activities enable students to learn by doing, discussing or researching the topic. These are: ‘Let’s get started’; ‘Over to you’; and ‘Let’s get practical’.
