Child's Play: Introducing Music and Literacy through Picture Books
provides students with a wide variety of picture book suggestions
to enrich childhood education programs and curriculum. The literacy
components within each picture book support children's development
of speaking, reading or viewing, listening, writing, and movement.
Music components build children's recognition and understanding of
dynamics, form, melody, rhythm, style, texture, and timbre or tone
color. The picture book suggestions reflect diverse authors,
illustrators, story characters, and contexts, and are organized
into five distinct themes: animals, people, movement, objects, and
mindfulness. Each chapter is further divided into five separate
ages and developmental stages, offering recommendations for
infants, toddlers, pre-schoolers/pre-kindergarteners,
kindergarteners, and early elementary school students. Readers are
provided with learning objectives and activity suggestions for each
picture book, encouraging future and practicing educators and
providers to engage their students and help develop their literacy
and music skills. Featuring kid-tested, teacher-approved picture
book references, Child's Play is an ideal supplementary resource
for courses and programs in childhood education and development.

There is something absolutely magical about a child who is
embarking on the amazing journey called kindergarten. They are so
innocent, pure, and impressionable. They are at an incredible stage
in their lives-so young, yet so very ready. This book was written
as a gift to parents whose children are at this wonderful stage. My
intention is to share with you every insight that I have gained as
a mother and as a teacher. Whether this is your first child going
into kindergarten or your last child-even if you've had a gap in
time where you haven't been in a kindergarten classroom for a
while-this book is for you. Enjoy
This is an illustrated collection of fifty of the greatest nursery
rhymes or traditional songs for young children. Nursery rhymes aid
in a child's development. Music and rhyme increase a child's
ability in spatial reasoning which leads to greater success in
school in the subjects of mathematics and science.
Life transitions differ concerning the intensity of the change and
the intensity of the child's reaction to that change. For most
children, the first and most significant transition is from the
family home to an institution of early care and education, which
includes preschool. These transitions can also include children's
passage from kindergarten to elementary school. However, the
intensity of the child's reaction is related to the size of the
change that is happening and also to who or what is involved in
that change and the importance a child attributes to that someone
or something. Supporting Children's Well-Being During Early
Childhood Transition to School is an essential scholarly
publication that examines evidence-based practices and approaches
that fully support a child's well-being during transition periods
in early childhood. It serves as a resource to rethink contemporary
transition theoretical models, research studies, and applied
practices. Featuring a wide range of topics such as emotional
competency, language learners, and professional development, this
book is ideal for academicians, psychologists, early childhood
educators, daycare centers, curriculum designers, policymakers,
researchers, education professionals, and students. Topics Covered:
Curriculum Design Early Childhood Education Emotional Competency
Equity Family-Teacher Partnership Kindergarten Language Learners
Linguistics Professional Development School Readiness
