Use the powerful strategies of play and storytelling to help young
children develop their "math brains." This easy-to-use resource
includes fun activities, routines, and games inspired by children's
books that challenge children to recognize and think more logically
about the math all around them.
Biblio/Poetry Therapy - The Interactive Process: A Handbookwas
first published in 1986. Now in its third printing, this is a
classic text for those studying bibliotherapy: the use of
literature in all its forms to promote mental health. The Hynes and
Hynes-Berry four-stage bibliotherapy model is used by therapists,
clinicians, educators, poets, and spiritual directors around the
world.
This groundbreaking book looks at the development of mathematical
thinking in infants and toddlers, with an emphasis on the earliest
stage, from zero to three, when mathematical thinking and problem
solving first emerge as natural instincts. The text explores the
four precursor math concepts-Attribute, Comparison, Change, and
Pattern-with an emphasis on how development occurs when it is
nurtured by loving knowledgeable others. The authors call this the
CAIR principle: Closely Attend & Intentionally Respond. Sharing
their stories of working with a wide range of zero to three
caregivers and educators, the authors stress the difference between
arithmetic skills and their definition of mathematics as "a logical
way of thinking that allows for increasing precision." Each
user-friendly chapter includes suggestions for highly effective
practices that are embedded into everyday interactions and
routines. Early care providers can use this resource to develop
young children's interest in mathematics, ensuring that they are
ready for the big ideas they will encounter in preschool.Book
Features: Combines the most current research on infant and toddler
cognitive development in relation to mathematical thinking. Offers
concrete ways to help caregivers and professionals draw out the
math that is all around us. Blends three domains of human
development-social-emotional, physical, and cognitive. Examines the
What, Who, and How of each precursor concept, with authentic
anecdotes and "What the Research Says" sections.
Drawing from 30 years of teaching and professional development
experience, this book offers a roadmap for using children's
literature to provide authentic learning. Featuring a
''storyteller's voice,'' each chapter includes a case study about
how a particular fiction or nonfiction work can be used in an early
childhood classroom; a series of open-ended questions to help
readers construct their own inquiry units; and a bibliography of
children's literature. This book provides a unique synthesis of
ideas based on constructivist approaches to learning, including the
importance of positive dispositions and learning communities, the
nature of higher-order thinking, and the relationship between
methods such as guided inquiry in the sciences and balanced
literacy.
