Diane Rich is co author of the series What Matters to Children, published by
Rich Learning Opportunities
The first in the series was published in spring 2005
First hand experience: what matters to children (Rich, D. Casanova, D. Dixon,
A. Drummond, M.J. Durrant, A, Myer, C.)
This book focuses on promoting first hand experiences for children. The
book takes the form of an alphabet of real experiences and enquiries
underpinned by what matters to children. Each page has been developed as a
springboard from which children and educators can launch themselves into the
beautiful, mysterious, physical world in which we all live.

The second in the series will be published in spring 2008
Learning: what matters to
children (Rich, D. Casanova, D. Drummond, M.J.
Durrant, A, Myer, C.)
While building on the elements represented on the alphabet pages of the first
book, we have a different purpose. The new book moves on from our concern with
the rich curriculum diet that children deserve, to explore more fully what
learners do (the central theme). The book takes the form of an alphabet of
what learners do.
We aim to help educators who work with young and primary aged children explore
the richness of children’s learning.
