Alphabet Activities for Young Learners (pp.75).
A young child learns and grows when we provide concrete experiences that totally involve him in his learning. When he is doing, seeing, feeling, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling he will be learning.
Most experts on child development and early childhood education believe that young children learn more readily if the teaching methods employed meet their special needs.
Young children between the ages of four and eight learn best through active, hands-on experiences. They think concretely not abstractly and learn by doing.
Young children develop concepts through interaction with people, real objects and solving problems, which interest them. Basic skills develop when they are meaningful to children.
Paper and pencil activities (workbooks, worksheets) are developmentally inappropriate activities for young children as they are abstract and meaningless.
The activities in this book teach to all the sense modalities. They accommodate individual learning styles and integrate learning experiences.
The letter activities overlap the curriculum. An example, When you are clapping and counting, in C activities, you are integrating math and letter experiences. When you are creating clouds you are integrating science and letter experiences.
The multisensory activities in this book are developmentally appropriate activities for young children and will help you teach the way a young child learns best through an active, concrete, hands-on approach.
