Offering a comprehensive framework of skills and activities for ages 2–9, this valuable resource helps parents develop (or flex) curricula lessons in the early years as they focus on their children’s development of academic and life skills. Divided into 6 sections that begin with academic skills, there is also guidance for physical education, the arts, and home and personal skills. Each of these sections is further divided into five levels: Preschool, Beginner 1 (ages 4–6); Beginner 2 (ages 5–7); Form 1 (ages 6–8); and Form 2 (ages 7–9). This helps to build the progression of skills so parents can use this same resource for several years. The book concludes with places to visit, universal childhood experiences, and monthly projects/activities to complete. Well-organized and easy to use, this practical book also offers suggested website and curricula resources. 145 pgs.
