Looking for new activities to do with your child? Trying to find something developmentally appropriate? Try our Family Activity Cards. The cards are designed by early years professionals for families who are looking for fun and engaging things to do with their child at home. The cards focus on the five domains of early learning that are closely associated with readiness for school: awareness of self and environment, social skills and approaches to learning, cognitive skills, language and communication, and physical development.

These play-based activities are appropriate for pre-school and kindergarten-aged children.

Details

The cards are easy to understand and engaging. The front of the card has a picture that shows the activity while the back of the card provides a description of the domain, the goal of the activity and how to play. Each developmental domain outlined below has a selection of activities designed to strengthen a child's skill within that specific domain.

Awareness of self and the environment is the lens through which all future information is filtered. It influences what children will notice and think about, and how they will organize new information gleaned from future learning experiences.

Social skills and approaches to learning influence the successful transition to school, and to later social and academic success. Research demonstrates that children whointeract well with teachers and peers form good social relationships, are perceived more positively, and do better academically.

Cognitive skills refers to pre-academic skills or 'readiness to learn at school'. These include foundational literacy skills and numeracy skills (i.e., naming letters and counting). Children who enter school with well-developed readiness skills make a more successful transition to school and achieve better academically. Early literacy research shows that kindergarten children’s ‘inside-out’ skills are strong predictors of their ability to read in Grades 1 and 2. Inside-out skills refer to children’s knowledge of features inside the printed word such as the ability to name alphabet letters or identify beginning consonant sounds.

Language and communication refers to ability to listen and understand instructions, speak and communicate and understand stories and events. Children with strong language and communication skills language are better able to understand the language of school, to follow classroom instructions and discussions, and to learn to read. Children with a good sense of story have basic narrative concepts and an understanding of story structure. Research shows that this knowledge helps them to derive meaning from print and to understand what they read. Children who communicate well find it easier to participate in classroom discussions and activities, and to form relationships with teachers and classmates.

Physical development includes both fine motor and gross motor skills. Children’s motor skills, coordination, energy level, and physical health affect their ability to successfully participate in a wide range of school experiences that foster early learning. These experiences transcend domains. They may be social (playing games at recess), or academic (having adequate fine motor skills to print, draw, and cut with scissors).

Great photo essay, history of aviation and space
i'm an engineer- worked rocket motors, and various satellite programs. this book was recommended by associate after visiting the museum at Langley. The pics are super, with short descriptions, and moderate on the tech. It's an amazing pulse of this wild history, and mostly is from America's lineage. St. Louis, Mercury, Atlas, and up to current Shuttle. There's also the SST, and unique turn of the century early birds. A fine read to be shared with a youngster (my son 10, digs it), or for the history or engineering buff. amazon has it cheaper than at the museum.

Essential reading for PowerPoint presenters.
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
Cliff shows details how to improve our PowerPoint presentations. He gives concrete and simple steps to transform a message into a targeted presentation. All of us have suffered from presenters who went over their allotted time because they had vital information to give us, yet we still didn't know their main point. Many have seen slide decks burdened with dozens of bullet points. Did the volume of points yield more clarity or did they dull our ability to focus on the message? Probably not. Read Cliff's book. Follow his method and you'll be a more effective presenter.

Useful with some scientific corroboration
Format: Paperback
Worth it as a primer to slide content and how it inter-relates to the delivery when giving a presentation. Very slightly laboured, like most TV documentaries nowadays - you feel they could move a bit faster (...yeah we got it the first time).

Simple and streamlined to meet anyone's needs
Format: Paperback
This book rocks! It provide a simple and structured way to define, develop and deliver a "Kick Ass" presentation that you can project or just use from the podium. It bring the audio and visual together to compliment a story to be shared. It has taken the hassel factor out of designing a presentation for anyone on any subject. Thank you!

Lasting value but degraded presentation
Format: Paperback
I've been a BBP fan since the first edition in 2005. The second edition in 2007 was a significant update and refinement. The latest, 2011 edition, is not worth buying if you already have the second edition -- the information is essentially the same but the 2011 is printed on cheap paper and the contrast between text and background for most of the illustrations is lousy, e.g. black text on a dark grey background, white text on a light grey background. I found it very difficult to read. The online version (O'Reilly Safari Books OnLine) is slightly better because it allows you to magnify the low contrast images which makes them slightly more legible. Thankfully, access to the online version is included with the ink-on-paper book free via a scratch-off, lottery ticket-type insert at the back of the book. If I had to do it again, I'd skip the paper book from Amazon and just purchase electronic access via O'Reilly. This version is more legible and you can print important pages that you might want hard copies of to highlight, mark-up, etc.
