Getting Ready to Read: Readiness Fundamentals

Before you build a house, you have to lay the foundation, and the same is true of learning. The activities in this book will help children develop the social, motor, listening, visual perception, and oral language skills that are necessary for success in reading and math instruction. The wide range of activities presented allow you to choose what's right for the development of your children. There are many experiences at the concrete level-moving -- talking, playing -- as well as lessons for children ready for paper-pencil tasks. Picture cards and flannel board patterns are included. Lots of charming line art illustrations throughout, including fun masks finger puppet patterns. All 240 pages perforated for easy removal.
