This innovative and timely new book shows teachers how play-based learning can help build a strong literacy foundation in young learners. Based on the premise that children succeed when their social interactions are valued, this book supports learning strategies that

  • use play based exercises to encourage learning through speaking, listening, creative thinking, and moving
  • recognize the power of math, science, technology, and computers in early learning
  • encourage hands-on experiences that are driven by children’s own desire to learn
  • respect children’s unique home backgrounds and the important role of family
  • accommodate the different ways that children develop and learn

Ready to Learn shows new and experienced teachers how to use play-based learning to give children the best possible start in their school lives!
