101 Educational Conversations With Your Kindergartner-1St Grader

Rating:
Summary: an A-Z jargon-free primer for parents about school
Review: Here's everything a parent wants to know when his child enters school: What should you look for in the classroom? How do you teach science to a kindergartner? What is a "whole language program" and why are there so many different ways to teach reading?

The book includes an entire section of fun conversation starters and easy-to-do activities. A parent can use these to support her child's school learning and demonstrate a high regard for education.

Beyond formal classroom learning and casual at-home learning, the author strongly encourages school-home partnerships. What kindergartner or first-grader could ask for a better ambiance for learning?

I only wish the book would be up-dated soon.
