"Research Connections" conducted a comprehensive search of its collection for resources focused on play and early learning. This Key Topic Resource List includes a listing of selected resources on the role of play in early development and learning. From the many results, "Research Connections" selected a limited number of resources of various types including reports and papers, executive summaries, and reviews. Selection criteria included topic relevance and relatively recent publication (from the years 2000 through 2010). The full results came from the following basic search: play teacher math literacy. Search results are grouped into the following broad areas: (1) play and development; (2) play and early literacy; (3) play and early math; (4) play and children with disabilities; and (5) teachers' perceptions and use of play. Within each category, resources are organized according to publisher type and publication date.
