Play:
The Pathway fromTheory to Practice
By: Sandra
Heidemann, Deborah Hewitt
Play skills
are life skills that stay with children throughout their
growing years. They are vital to the overall healthy development
of children and help them understand a number of basic
principles including recognizing symbols, solving conflict,
and taking turns. An updated, expanded revision of the
popular Pathways to Play , Play:Pathway from
Theory to Practice contains practical suggestions
and theoretical information for helping children thrive
with play-based learning. Chapters include an explanation
of the functional "Play Checklist" to help you observe
children's emerging skills and pinpoint areas for improvement,
instructions for writing specific and attainable goals
for children, and case studies from real classrooms. |
