Abstract: This article summarizes research supporting claims that offering opportunities for planning and reflection in early years promotes development of thinking and reasoning. Strategies to encourage planning include ensuring that children can see areas and materials during planning, asking children questions, encouraging children to elaborate on plans, and using encouragement rather than praise. Strategies to promote reflection include asking open-ended questions, accepting conflicting interpretations, and writing down what children say. (KB)
