Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Unlike any other book on block play, Teaching Numeracy, Language, and Literacy with Blocks helps teachers observe and plan for young children's play with blocks in order to support the development of early math, vocabulary, and reading skills. Focusing on the seven stages of block play, each information-rich chapter also contains open-ended picture exercises and easy-to-use charts.
Includes bibliographical references.
Why blocks? -- Basic learning rules for young children -- Basic learning rules for young children-- language and literacy -- Discovering -- Towers and roads -- Doorways and bridges -- Fences and walls -- Patterns -- Pretending -- Making known things -- Safety -- Useful information.
Each chapter includes helpful suggestions on watching and listening and on what to say and what to do, as well as charts matching behaviors, content, and concepts to academic standards.
