Schofield & Sims Get Set Early Years is a comprehensive and engaging early years scheme that aims to bridge the gap between play and formal learning, helping all children to become school-ready by the end of Reception. Comprising twelve activity books and three accompanying teacher’s guides, Get Set Early Years covers all the Early Learning Goals (ELGs) for Literacy, Mathematics and Understanding the world. Each activity book provides:

• exciting and motivating activities to support classroom teaching
• friendly illustrations to inspire conversation and encourage mark-making
• key vocabulary for each topic area
• notes and tips for parents and carers.

Get Set: Shape and Pattern develops children’s recognition of colour, pattern and shape, both mathematically and in relation to the world around us. This book explores topics such as 2D and 3D shapes, repeating patterns and symmetry. A separate accompanying teacher’s guide, Get Set Mathematics Teacher’s Guide (ISBN 9780721714356), contains detailed teacher’s notes, links to show corresponding pages in the activity book, and supporting photocopiable resources. A selection of free downloads is also available from the Schofield & Sims website.
