Book Review (Early Learning Skill-Builders)

I finally completed an interesting book that I took from the school library. Well, i began this book long time back. But managed to complete reading the whole book only now. Well, it is an excellent book for teachers, who are always on the look out for new ideas.

Here's a very short review:

BOOK: Early Learning Skill-Builders (Colors, Shapes, Numbers & Letters)

Author: Mary Tomczyk
Illustrations: Karen Weiss
Publisher: Dolphin Press, New Delhi

This book contains more than 50 developmentally appropriate experiences designed to be used for small children. They include hands-on activities and games to introduce and develop basic early-learning skills such as color, shape, number and letter recognition; counting; comparing and contrasting; and sorting.

I am pretty sure we can get lots of ideas from this book. I personally felt that some activities are those which already follow in school. The book helps us understand how & what exactly that activity can help us achieve, i.e. we can understand what our achievement objective is.

Another thing I would like to specify is the fact that books contain lots of pictures. They can be of great use for our newsletters!!

Enjoy the book!!! ( I did, even though it took me so much time)
