‘I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop as I was given the opportunity to work with learners … while being guided. The trainer demonstrations with the learners were an excellent idea. This workshop has been a success as I can now see what our learners lack. It made a lot of sense.’ (Metro South, 2009)

I feel very strongly that Basic Concepts should be introduced to all learners- this will give me the time to develop their conceptual language and increase their vocabulary and verbal fluency.

If you understand the basic concepts you will have a better understanding of more complex concepts.

The workshop was very educative and an eye-opener. These are things that we usually just take for-granted.
The work … is certainly original, and in some important aspects constitutes a contribution to the fund of knowledge about cognitive development and early education.
