than Vygotsky, his contributions are frequently misunderstood.

make Vygotsky accessible to early childhood educators and
students.' - CHOICE September 2009, Vol. 47 No. 01

learning and the importance of issues such as culture, history,
language and symbols in learning." --Early Years Update, Issue 84,
December 2010.
