Ready to learn, ready for school (Nie meer beskikbaar)

A practical guide to help parents, teachers and caregivers keep a watchful eye on and enhance a child’s development. Scientific facts: The first six years write the script for a child’s school life. There is a direct correlation between a child’s self-image and his ability to learn easily at school. This book is a practical map to help parents, teachers and caregivers keep a watchful eye on and enhance a child’s development – his body (physical), his heart (emotional and social) and his brain (cognitive/intellectual). It is not simply a school-readiness check-list, but a map that activates a blinking red light when a developmental problem starts to grow and makes the green light shine brightly when the skills discussed here are ticked off, one after the other. Red lights don’t mean that all is lost; they mean simply that skilled professionals could be called on to help overcome developmental hiccups and make sure that the young child has a strong base. Ready to learn, ready for school includes loads of practical tips and advice as well as a glossary of terms used on report cards and tests to help parents make sense of them. This book is the ideal companion to Play Learn Know and will help you to experience your child’s formative years as a resoundingly successful adventure!
