Media Review: Books: We Sing and Read

Everyday examples and techniques are shown to illustrate how a child's language develops, how problem solving develops, and how time, space, and number concepts develop. This particular set focuses on the family as the primary means of preparing the child for learning. It emphasizes the fact that the child will learn automatically but that the child who is given positive reinforcement during the first six years of life will be much better prepared to encounter life situations than the child who does not have that kind of positive foundation. A point that is strongly stressed is that each child has his own developmental rate and parents should be aware of this and support should be given through approval and affection. This series, Understanding Early Childhood Ages 1-6. does not constrain itself to deal in stereotypes of children; rather it covers a great many ideas, situations, and techniques which lend themselves to our present-day society. The unique blending of color, variety of settings, and information as well as sounds and music gives Understanding Early Childhood Ages 1-6 that certain magic quality to which we all can relate.
