- Summary:
-
This volume presents ideas for implementing prekindergarten programs in Texas. Published in response to state laws for prekindergarten education, it targets high-risk four-year-olds whose home environment or limited English might impede their success in school. The prekindergarten program stresses language development and developmentally appropriate activities to prepare children for kindergarten language requirements. This publication discusses the essential elements of the state curriculum: the development of communication, cognition, motor, fine arts, and social emotional skills. It presents rules for coordinating the program with existing programs like Head Start. Suggestions for classroom environments are presented, such as room selection, furnishings, and arrangement. Sample classroom floor plans are offered. The publication presents the concept of learning centers, areas of the classroom containing materials and equipment chosen to facilitate specific developmental activities. Correlation charts are provided, illustrating specific correspondences between the developmental purpose of each center and equipment required. The volume also provides much information on the requirements of limited English students, including the need for bilingual teachers and appropriate teaching materials. A bibliography on English as a second language is provided. (HOD)
