Ready to Learn From Birth to School Readiness by Martyn Rawson and Michael Rose

When are children ready for school? Many parents are  concerned about their children entering formal schooling too early.  They question “hot housing” children, as well as the stressful side  effects of too much formal schooling too early. Ready to Learn  will help you to decide when your child is ready to take the step from  kindergarten into elementary school. The key is an imaginative grasp of  how children up to the age of six years learn to play, speak, think, and  relate.

The authors offer parents and professionals useful  maps for understanding the physical, soul and spiritual aspects of child  development; how children “grow down” into their bodies; how language  and the senses develop; reading readiness; the place of computers;  whether girls and boys learn differently; and simple tests for school  readiness.                          ISBN:       9781903458662
