21.01.2022 An important story for young readers about being courageous and self-confident, even when you're scared. Self-confidence is something many children and adults struggle with. Many of us are afraid to try new things, ask questions when we're confused, and say no when everyone else wants us to say yes. When children believe in themselves, they're more likely to stand up to bullies and peer pressure, their outlook on life is brighter, they are happier overall. ... In I Can Be Brave, young readers will meet a group of kids who have figured out a few things they like doing and, after some trial-and-error and overcoming their fears, are very proud of their individual accomplishments. Jumping off the diving board might be scary at first, but successfully completing a dive is something to be proud of! Building a tree house can be fun, even if you don't love being so far off the ground. Sometimes children may need a little boost of confidence or help from those around them to keep at it. Parents and friends can be encouraging by saying things like: "Do you believe you can do it?" "You can do it!" and "Let's try again!" Sometimes, as the children in I Can Be Brave learn, when they don't have enough confidence to do something alone--like go down a giant slide--they can muster the courage to do it anyway with a close friend at their side. I Can Be Brave encourages young readers to invest time in new activities, believe in themselves, accept encouragement from others, voice their insecurities, and ask for help when they need it.

08.01.2022 Threading Skills this activity improves: Motor skills Sequencing... Sorting and grouping Vocabulary You can thread nearly anything that has a hole in it. A hole punch is great for making holes, even in leaves. Cut a piece of string, thin plastic tubing or wool. Tie something on one end so the pieces don’t fall off. Try threading pasta shapes, cut up straws, beads, leaves, shells or pieces of fabric. The threadings can become necklaces or decorations to hang in trees or windows. Why does this matter? This activity helps children as they develop hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. They are strengthening the muscles in their hands which help them with drawing and writing. When children create or copy patterns they are learning about classification, and developing skills in noticing details. Talking to children while working together helps them build their vocabulary. What does this lead to? Hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills are very important for writing and drawing. Patterning and sorting will lead to skills in classifying and in noticing details which are important numeracy skills. A wide vocabulary helps with reading and expressing yourself.

02.01.2022 Fostering Understanding of Early Numeracy Development Children understand many numeracy concepts before they start learning mathematics formally at school. Prior to school, children’s numeracy knowledge develops significantly and these skills influence achievement in school mathematics. ...
