One way to provide a quality education is with an effective curriculum that reflects high standards and expectations. Thus, DoDEA has developed rigorous content standards aligned with national guidelines and standards.

This booklet is designed to inform you, parents, of DoDEA's expectations for students in the four major curriculum areas-reading/language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies-at the prekindergarten level. These expectations are aligned with the prekindergarten curriculum that is used by the classroom teacher for daily instruction. The booklet also provides examples of what your child is learning in the classroom, and what he or she should know and be able to accomplish upon exiting prekindergarten. In addition, it provides suggestions and tips on how you can help your child at home. Resources for children are appended.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook was originally intended for parents whose children attend programs which use "The Creative Curriculum for Early Childhood" (CCEC), but the informaton is also useful to parents whose children attend early childhood programs using other curriculum models based on child development theories. The purpose of the handbook is to explain ways parents and teachers can work together at home and at school to help children acquire the skills, attitudes, and habits to do well in school and throughout life. The guide explains the CCEC program's philosophy and goals. It describes what children are learning while engaged in particular CCEC program activities and what they learn from the environment, the daily schedule, conversations, and at home in the dining room, living room, kitchen, children's bedroom, bathroom, and outside. Concluding remarks stress that the key to providing successful learning experiences for young children is to figure out what interests the child and use those interests to engage him or her in actively exploring and learning about the environment. It is emphasized that every place is a learning environment for a child, regardless of where the family lives or what kind of home the family lives in. (RH)

Download or read book The Educated Child written by Chester E. Finn, Jr. and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 1999-12-24 with total page 689 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you care about the education of a child, you need this book. Comprehensive and easy to use, it will inform, empower, and encourage you. Just as William J. Bennett's The Book of Virtues has helped millions of Americans teach young people about character, The Educated Child delivers what you need to take control. With coauthors Chester E. Finn, Jr., and John T. E. Cribb, Jr., former Secretary of Education Bennett provides the indispensable guide. Championing a clear "back-to-basics" curriculum that will resonate with parents and teachers tired of fads and jargon, The Educated Child supplies an educational road map from earliest childhood to the threshold of high school. It gives parents hundreds of practical suggestions for helping each child succeed while showing what to look for in a good school and what to watch out for in a weak one. The Educated Child places you squarely at the center of your young one's academic career and takes a no-nonsense view of your responsibilities. It empowers you as mothers and fathers, enabling you to reclaim what has been appropriated by "experts" and the education establishment. It out-lines questions you will want to ask, then explains the answers -- or non-answers -- you will be given. No longer will you feel powerless before the education "system." The tools and advice in this guide put the power where it belongs -- in the hands of those who know and love their children best. Using excerpts from E. D. Hirsch's Core Knowledge Sequence, The Educated Child sets forth a state-of-the art curriculum from kindergarten through eighth grade that you can use to monitor what is and isn't being taught in your school. It outlines how you can help teachers ensure that your child masters the most important skills and knowledge. It takes on today's education controversies from phonics to school choice, from outcomes-based education to teaching values, from the education of gifted children to the needs of the disabled. Because much of a youngster's education takes place outside the school, The Educated Child also distills the essential information you need to prepare children for kindergarten and explains to the parents of older students how to deal with such challenges as television, drugs, and sex. If you seek high standards and solid, time-tested content for the child you care so much about, if you want the unvarnished truth about what parents and schools must do, The Educated Child is the one book you need on your shelf.
Download or read book How to Teach Your Preschooler to Read in 30 Days written by ATLANTIC PUBLISHING GROUP and published by Atlantic Publishing Group (FL). This book was released on 2013-12-30 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, children introduced to reading early on tend to excel in school compared to children who are not exposed to language and books at a young age. While the building blocks of literacy begin at infancy, a child as young as 3 years old has the ability to read basic words and short sentences. According to the National Institute for Literacy, researchers have found strong evidence that children can learn reading and writing in their earliest years, long before they go to school. Is your child interested in learning his or her ABCs? Does your child play with books and interact with you and the story while being read to? The most important factor in determining whether your child is ready to learn to read is his or her enthusiasm for learning. If your child has begun to express an interest in reading, this book will provide you with the tools for teaching him or her the basics of phonics and promoting a love for reading -- one of the best gifts a parent can offer a child. How to Teach Your Preschooler to Read In 30 Days addresses some basic questions you might have about the benefits of reading as a preschooler, the keys for teaching a child to read, and the tools and supplies you need to create an effective classroom in your home. This book provides lesson plans for a four-week instruction program. You will begin by introducing a set of preliminary sounds and letters and incorporating these letters into games. Once your child has mastered these words, you can teach him or her more complex sounds and words, and your child will begin to construct simple sentences. This book includes short stories you can use to continue your child's reading instruction after completing the four-week program. Games, visual cues, and role-playing -- the main means of learning for children ages 3 to 5 --provide an entertaining environment in which your child can perform his or her best. This book also addresses how babysitters and other caregivers can help teach your child to read and shows you how to create a reading record book so caregivers can provide you with proper feedback on the progress your child made while you were away. This book also addresses how to speak with teachers about your child's reading abilities upon entering school to ensure he or she continues learning. We spent hundreds of hours interviewing early childhood development educators and parents who shared their tips and advice for not only teaching your child how to read, but also instilling a lifelong love of words in their hearts. In a world where a college degree is becoming the new high school diploma, make sure your child is keeping up with the times by establishing his or her literacy at an early age with this helpful book.

For the past 50 years, Sesame Street has stood at the forefront of child development, stimulating and nurturing the minds of preschoolers not only through the iconic TV show, but also through books, games, mobile apps, and community engagement initiatives. With Ready for School!, Senior VP of Curriculum and Content at Sesame Workshop Dr. Rosemarie Truglio shares all the research-based, curriculum-directed school readiness skills that have made Sesame Street the preeminent children's TV program, and that every parent needs in order to get their preschooler ready for lifelong learning. Each of the book's eight chapters focuses on a key area: language, literacy, math, science, logic & reasoning, social & emotional development, healthy habits, and the arts. An essential dynamic of Ready for School! is its emphasis on the importance of play in a child's learning process. To respond to that need, dozens of "Play & Learn" activities are included to aid parents in educating their children: at the kitchen table, on the bus, in the park, or in the preschool classroom while playing together. In addition, the book recommends scores of hints, tips, ideas for useful products, and deep-dives on more complex topics for parents, all designed to make preparing young kids for school easy and joyful.
