PreS-Gr 1 Each of these books begins with the simple statement that we are all different. How individuals learn, play, communicate, read, and move are addressed in a straightforward manner answering the what, how, why, and where questions. "Aprendemos" begins by naming different things children learn like facts and skills, such as swimming and reading. Then it presents the different ways they learn by themselves or in groups; visual, touch, kinesthetic, auditory, and tactile. "Jugamos, Comunicamos, Leemos", and "Movemos" follow the same format. The themes are developed sequentially, making it easy for young children to understand the concepts. The photographs include multicultural youngsters with or without disabilities. They correspond to the texts, providing needed support for young readers. Each book includes suggestions of activities for parents and teachers to do before and after reading the volumes. Useful additions to engage youngsters in conversation about the different topics."Ana Rodriguez, Tamarac Elementary School, FL" Copyright 2010 Media Source Inc.
A perfect red cherry balances atop an enormous sculpted spoon. Readers flip the page and learn that...yes, the cherry is a circle. Diamond-shaped kayaks, triangular cupolas, and other objects from a range of contexts help children identify basic shapes. Appealing photographs accompany bland Spanish-language texts. Subpar glossaries (some with only one entry) are included. Ind. Review covers these Identifica la forma titles: Las formas en el arte, Las formas en el deporte, Las formas en la música, Las formas en los edificios, and Las formas en los jardines.
