Written by Richard James, Chess for Schools: From simple strategy
games to clubs and competitions is a great resource to help
teachers encourage children to enjoy the benefits and challenges of
the chess game. Chess is a game of extraordinary excitement and
beauty and all children should have the opportunity to experience
it. Indeed, many claim that playing abstract strategy games such as
chess provides a wide range of cognitive and social benefits-such
as improvements in problem-solving ability and communication
skills. However, Richard James argues that, because of the
complexity of chess, most younger children would gain more benefit
from simpler chess-based strategy games and incremental learning.
In this practical handbook, Richard provides a wide range of games
and puzzles based on these principles which are appropriate for
primary schools and explains how teachers can identify children who
would benefit from starting young. Richard also sets out how this
approach can engage the whole community, including working with
children with special needs, getting parents involved in learning
and playing, and developing partnerships between primary and
secondary schools. Chess for Schools shares the latest research
into how children process information, combined with insights into
international best practice in teaching chess to young children.
The book demonstrates the transformative effect chess can have on
older children, and how this can be promoted in secondary schools.
Richard James offers valuable insights into the greater context of
chess-playing, expressing how and why chess is a joy to so many
worldwide andshares a series of resources and minigames for
teachers to use with their learners. An ideal resource for primary
and secondary school teachers wanting to introduce their pupils to
chess.
