http://www.edc.org/spotlight/mos_format/literacy/teaching.htm

Extractions: TEACHING TEACHERS ABOUT TALK The Importance of Conversation in Preschool Classrooms On the third floor of Larsen Hall at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, thousands of video and audiocassettes line the walls of a room not much bigger than a closet. The cassettes contain data of an unusual sort-voices of children in ordinary conversation with each other and with adults at school, at play, and at home. The conversations comprise the raw data of a longitudinal research effort known as the Home-School Study of Language and Literacy Development. Begun in 1987 by EDC senior researcher David Dickinson and Catherine Snow, professor of language and literacy at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, the study set out to examine the connections between children's early spoken language skills and their later school performance. "Our interest was in low-income children in particular," Dickinson explains, "because it was apparent that somewhere in upper elementary school—fourth or fifth grades—-working-class children begin to fall behind their middle-class peers. It seemed to us that their oral language skills—-established in the preschool years—lay at the heart of their later struggles."

http://www.epi-center.org/BrainDevelopment.htm

Extractions: Brain Development: From the Beginning Research provides proof that a childs interactions and experiences in the first few years of life have a large impact on social, emotional, intellectual and language development. Babies are born with 100 billion brain cells, called neurons, virtually all of the brain cells they will ever have. The neurons are not yet connected into networks as they will be when the brain is mature. As babies respond to experiences in their world of home, family, and caregivers, their brain cells form networks that give them the capacity to think and learn. Connections are made as brain cells send signals to and receive input from each other. A single cell can connect with a s many as 15,000 other cells, creating the brains circuitry. As babies respond to touch, taste, smell, voices, sights, new connections are formed. Children first learn to listen and speak, then use these and other skills to explore reading and writing. Like child development in general, language development is interrelated. Children who have many opportunities to listen and speak tend to become skilled readers. Children who are read to often, learn to love reading and become better listeners, speakers, and writers.

http://www.pbs.org/teachersource/prek2/issues/index.shtm

Extractions: In the past, some educators and researchers have voiced concerns about the use of the Internet and computers in general with young children. However, recent research indicates that when integrated properly into early childhood classroom environment, the Internet can be an effective teaching tool, empowering children to take a more active role in their learning. Integration into the Early Childhood Curriculum To have the greatest developmental impact on young children, it is recommended that the Internet not be used simply for "drill-and-practice" activities. Teachers should focus instead on enhancing the existing curriculum with online activities that encourage exploration, imagination, collaboration, and problem-solving. The Internet provides an ideal opportunity to focus on key areas of the preschool and kindergarten curriculum such as emerging literacy and math skills. In conjunction with traditional exercises with three-dimensional manipulatives, online mathematics activities can provide practice with patterning, classification, sequencing, and numerical relationships, as well as the concepts of time and dates. Web sites can also be a resource for extending language and early literacy development, with story creation, letter recognition, and word/picture connection activities. Open-ended activities such as writing and drawing tools also offer opportunities for children to develop creativity skills.

In the wake of last year's West Nile Virus outbreak, which included more than 800 reported cases in Illinois alone, nobody's complaining about crows anymore. Aside from the human victims, crows, blue jays and chickadees were the hardest hit by the mosquito-borne disease. Other birds may have suffered as well, according to bird watchers.
NNCC Preschooler Development
INTELLECTUAL development. THREEYEAR-OLD CHILDREN. preschool childrenlearn best by doing. teach them to dress and undress themselves.
http://www.nncc.org/Child.Dev/presch.dev.html

Extractions: PRESCHOOLERS Three and four-year-old children are often called preschoolers. Preschool children are making developmental strides and express an interest in the world around them. They want to touch, taste, smell, hear, and test things for themselves. They are eager to learn. They learn by experiencing and by doing. Preschoolers learn from their play. They are busy developing skills, using language, and struggling to gain inner control. Fears often develop during the preschool years. Common fears include new places and experiences and separation from parents and other important people. You can expect the preschool child to test you over and over again, to use profanity and other forbidden words, and to act very silly. Preschoolers may still have trouble getting along with other children, and sharing may still be difficult. Because of their developing imaginations and rich fantasy lives, they may have trouble telling fantasy from reality. They may also talk about imaginary friends. Preschoolers need clear and simple rules so that they know the boundaries of acceptable behavior.

http://www.negp.gov/page3-1.htm

Extractions: Goal 1: Ready to Learn By the year 2000, all children will start school ready to learn. Did you know... that between 1990 and 1996, the United states was successful in reducing the proportion of infants born with one or more health risks from 37% to 34% representing at least 72,700 children who were born with a healthier start in life? Objectives: Children will receive the nutrition, physical activity experiences, and health care needed to arrive at school with healthy minds and bodies, and to maintain the mental alertness necessary to be prepared to learn, and the number of low-birthweight babies will be significantly reduced through enhanced prenatal health systems. See national indicators 1, Children's Health Index , and 2, Immunizations , for a review of progress toward this objective. Every parent in the United States will be a child's first teacher and devote time each day to helping such parent's preschool child learn, and parents will have access to the training and support parents need.

Extractions: NCBE Program Information Guide Series, Number 22, Summer 1995 Barry McLaughlin; Antoinette Gesi Blanchard; Yuka Osanai Note: Every attempt has been made to maintain the integrity of the printed text. Due to the constraints of the electronic environment, some figures and tables may have been reconstructed or omitted. As more and more children enter early childhood education programs with limited proficiency in English, it becomes important for caregivers to know how to assess children's language development. This is no easy matter because children learning English as a second language come from many different circumstances and their development follows a number of different paths. Assessing the child's language development is a very important task for practitioners, especially when we think of assessment as a continual process that goes hand-in-hand with instruction. Because it is important to consider the various forms that second-language learning can take, this paper begins with a discussion of the child's language background. We then discuss some issues in the language development of bilingual children. After that we turn to issues in the language assessment and propose a procedure for assessing language development in bilingual preschool children. This procedure was developed for the State of California to assess first and second language development. THE CHILD'S LANGUAGE BACKGROUND There are many different ways in which children can be exposed to a second language. For some children, two languages are present in the home from birth. For other children, exposure to a second language begins once they enter early childhood education programs. It is customary in the literature to distinguish between children who learn two languages simultaneously and children who learn one language after their first language is established. Because so much of language development occurs before the age of three, the usual convention is to divide children at that point. If the second language is introduced before age three, children are thought to be learning the two languages simultaneously; after the age of three, they are engaged in sequential bilingualism (McLaughlin, 1984).

Extractions: Recommended Practices in Religious Education for Preschool Programs by Dr. Judy Harris Helm But Jesus called the children to him and said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these" - Luke 18:16 Children of preschool age, three- and four-year-olds, have unique developmental characteristics. These characteristics Godly Play Light Story Preschoolers' capability to understand religious education Defining appropriate religious instruction for preschool children requires not only an understanding of the developmental characteristics of preschoolers but also an understanding of religious education and the development of a belief system, especially the development of a Christian belief system. There is not a significant body of research on religious education of preschool children although churches are increasingly providing care and education of children in the preschool years. Ratcliff's (1988) summary of the status of preschool religious education is still accurate today. Unfortunately preschools are often just copies of their secular counterparts. Perhaps the lack of interest in distinctively religious education is due to the mistaken notion that such education is unimportant for this age. The curriculum available is rarely backed by good research, and some researchers have even concluded that it is useless to attempt religious education with young children.

http://www.netc.org/earlyconnections/preschool/technology.html

Extractions: Arrangement Software ... Resources A great deal of the learning in using a computer at an early age comes from the interaction between the child and the adult, not from the interaction with the computer. By the age of three, a child can begin to use a computer and discovery-based software meaningfully, with the help of an adult or older child. Remember to plan for the important tasks of the early years before allowing children to be distracted by too much electronic stimulation. Social Development Conversations with children increase their social and language skills. Nurturing and attention provided by an adult increase the child's feelings of worth and self-esteem. For social development, plan for plenty of interactions. Approaches toward Learning Children can be successful in school in many ways. Curiosity, creativity, independence, cooperativeness, and persistence are some of the approaches that enhance early learning and development.
