Description

Ages: 2-5 years

Bridging the worlds of home and school is proven to increase academic success, and this book is a perfect way to prepare children for that learning journey.

This booklet is a wonderful guide that shows how to make the home a center of learning for children and families. It covers physical, cognitive, social/emotional and language areas using different rooms of the house as literal rooms for learning activities. A great way to bring together the warm spaces of the home with spaces of the mind to be filled with family learning. From the kitchen to the living room to bedrooms and the bathroom, the activities in this Home Start Manual will help prepare your child or children for the joys of learning ahead at school and bring balance to these two worlds. Available in English or Spanish.
