Citations in the corpus

• Pre-school quality and educational outcomes at age 11: Low quality has little benefit (2011, background): “More qualitative studies such as the EPPE case studies (Siraj-Blatchford et al., 2002, 2008) delve into the complexities of practice and the shared meanings (amongst staff) that underpin it.”
• Environmentalising Early Childhood Education Curriculum through Pedagogies of Play (2011, background): “…pedagogical platform provides a way of responding to the literature which increasingly emphasises the role of teacher interactions during play (Fleer, 2010; Ryan & Goffin, 2008; Siraj-Blatchford et al., 2008) and teacher planning for learning before play (Edwards et al., 2010; Gibbons, 2007).”
• The influence of child, family, home factors and pre-school education on the identification of special educational needs at age 10 (2011, background): “…EPPE3-11 research has identified and published findings on ways of measuring preschool quality and provided rich descriptions of more effective practice from qualitative case studies that have influenced both policy and practice (Siraj-Blatchford et al., 2003, 2006, 2008; Sylva et al., 2006, 2010).”
• Do parents know they matter? Engaging all parents in learning (2008, background): “A recent review of early childhood literature (Sylva et al. 2004) reinforces the finding that engaging parents in schooling at an early stage leads to more positive engagement in learning processes.”
• Quality of the home learning environment during preschool age – Domains and contextual conditions (2013, background): “…with the frequency of parent–child activities, yet the nature of the activities themselves were more predictive of child outcomes than were the structural characteristics of the families themselves; there is a difference between ‘what people are and what people do’ (Sylva et al. 2004b, 164).”
• Effects of the Home Learning Environment and Preschool Center Experience upon Literacy and Numeracy Development in Early Primary School (2008, background): “There is now ample evidence of the benefits of preschool education for children generally and not just the disadvantaged (e.g., Magnuson, Meyers, Ruhm, & Waldfogel, 2004; Sammons et al., 2004; Sylva et al., 2004; Melhuish et al., 2006).”
