Book Description
A comprehensive curriculum for preschool and other early childhood programs. It covers all domains of early learning. The content of each unit is built around daily routine within an activity-center day. Themes, skills, and concepts are developed through quality children's fiction and nonfiction trade books. This program is designed to develop language and early literacy skills in the context of rich content - primarily in the areas of mathematics, science, and social studies. Unit topics include Family, Friends, Wind and Water, World of Color, Shadows and Reflections, and Things That Grow. Research-based strategies include whole-group, individual, and small-group activities. The daily schedule allows teachers to focus intensively on language and literacy.
