Publisher's Synopsis
The objectives of the books in this collection are to support children's gains in kindergarten readiness at home, to equip parents with practical tools to foster their child's development, and to provide teachers with assessment-ready evidence of skills being mastered by the child through time with their caregivers. The activities offer a toolkit for parents, with easy-to-follow instructions using materials that are found in typical homes and everyday life, requiring little or no out-of-pocket expense. Each of them has a brief explanation of why learning this skill is important to your child's development in early childhood. Whether being used in conjunction with a preschool classroom setting or independently, parents and children will have experiences that help improve outcomes, build self-confidence and foster a love of learning.
