Book Description
Teaching Children Handwriting is not just another book about teaching block printing and cursive script. It is actually a reference for the whole language arts curriculum in the first three grades and beyond. It begins with the young child's orientation in space and presents written language in the context of the development of human consciousness. Offering practical suggestions for activities, posture, choice of writing instruments, and much more, Audrey McAllen also provides helpful insights into learning difficulties that can be observed through a child's writing and offers guidance and encouragement. Teaching Children Handwriting is a real treasure for teachers, homeschooling parents, and all who love the written word.

A Mind At A Time

Author: Mel Levine
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1471108473
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 587

Book Description
'Different minds learn differently' writes Dr Mel Levine, one of the best-known education experts and paediatricians in America today. And that's a problem for many children, because most schools still cling to a one-size-fits-all education philosophy. In A MIND AT A TIME, Dr Levine shows parents and others who care for children how to identify these individual learning patterns. He explains how parents and teachers can encourage a child's strengths and bypass the child's weaknesses. This type of teaching produces satisfaction and achievement instead of frustration and failure. Different brains are differently wired with eight fundamental systems of learning that draw on a variety of neurodevelopmental capacities. Certain students are strong in certain areas and some are strong in others, but no one is equally capable in all eight. Learning begins at school, but it doesn't end there. Frustrating a child's desire to learn will have lifelong repercussions. We must begin to pay more attention to individual learning styles, to individual minds, urges Dr Levine, so that we can maximise our children's learning potential. A MIND AT A TIME shows us how.
