The
Parents' & Teachers' Guide to Helping Young Children Learn : Creative
Ideas from 35 Respected Experts
Review by: Christa Koch of
Preschool Education .Com
I recently had the pleasure of reading several wonderful and informative book
from Preschool Publications. See Below for 2 others.
This
is a must-have book for teachers, parents, and anyone
who has contact with a preschooler's life. This book explains how children
learn. From reading and writing to science and more. There are even
suggestions of activities to do with children and much more. Then review
below from Parents News really sums up anything I could say about this
book.
The articles are
readable, concise and full of ideas. Parents, teachers, and child care
providers can easily look up an area of interest. They will find a
theoretical discussion about the issue with practical ideas for dealing
with it....This is the beauty of the book.... It draws from the everyday
activities that go on in home or in preschool settings. It connects the
two and explains how everyday activities prepare the child. Each section
includes a list of references, relevant books and activities.... The
philosophy of child development behind these articles is one that needs to
be reiterated for every generation of parents. It views children as
curious and parents as having an important role in satisfying their
curiosity. Children are seen as seeking to explore their world and to
understand how it works. Parents -- following their children's
explorations and understanding how children develop -- expand their
children's experiences.
