Anna Ephgrave taught reception for over 20 years, achieving outstanding results, in challenging circumstances. She understands child development but has also learnt what motivates young children. She is passionate about giving children autonomy and the opportunity to write for an authentic purpose. The result is that they want to write – no coercion required! Anna is the originator and leading exponent of the "planning in the moment" concept. Her books cover the topic of planning in the moment for different age groups in early years.
