Editorial Reviews

Review

"A wonderful, richly detailed book that presents children as lively, engaged learners. Successfully communicates standards and benchmarks in familiar, matter-of-fact ways that support young children’s growth and learning and that are aligned with good developmental practice. The sections on second language learners and children with individual needs are important reminders that these children too are part of our classrooms and that one-size-fits-all teaching doesn’t benefit anyone." -- Julie Olsen Edwards, NAEYC Board Member and Early Childhood Education Instructor Published On: 2006-05-01

"The ideas in this book will seem familiar and non-threatening―yes, teachers can indeed use what they already know and what their children love, but they can also enhance and expand their favorite activities, enriching the educational benefits of everyday experiences." -- From the Foreword by Marilou Hyson Published On: 2006-05-01

"Preschool teachers and daycare centers concerned with early education receive an excellent survey based on expert insights that provide a variety of projects and activities to enhance early learning in all curriculum areas. This is a workbook of ideas pairing benchmark standards to realistic activities." -- Library Bookwatch, February 2007 Published On: 2007-02-14
