Description

"Great insights, wonderful suggestions, and realistic examples!"
-S. Jackie Hill, Associate Professor & Early Childhood Education Program Coordinator
Chattanooga State Technical Community College

"Emphasizes doing what is best for the child based on sound principles of how young children learn."
-Joan Moyer, Professor Emeritus
Arizona State University

"There are many books with early childhood education curriculum activities but not many with specific strategies for everyday needs. . . The examples and stories show humor and a good knowledge of appropriate child development practices."
-Kathleen McGinn, Director
Child Development Programs, Colton Joint Unified School District, CA

Engage and grow young minds with strategies for play-based curriculum!

Preschool educators face a perpetual challenge: How do you develop children′s early academic skills in stimulating, developmentally appropriate, and responsive ways?

Recognizing that play is children′s work, More Help! For Teachers of Young Children provides readers with 99 hands-on tips, including entertaining stories and practical strategies, to create learning opportunities for early literacy, math, science, social studies, creativity, music, and movement.

Each tip offers:

  • A short and engaging real-life story
  • Suggestions that teachers can use immediately
  • "Ask Yourself" reflective questions for teachers about their classroom practice

Every chapter concludes with a "Try This" section of even more activity ideas. Both new and veteran preschool teachers will learn and laugh each time they open this inviting resource and its companion volume, Help! For Teachers of Young Children: 88 Tips to Develop Children′s Social Skills and Create Positive Teacher-Family Relationships.
