Literacy Teaching Aids from High/Scope Educational Research Foundation
Science Activities: Classroom Projects and Curriculum Ideas, v42 n2 p43 Sum 2005
High/Scope's approach to education is a blend of Jean Piaget's constructivist theory of child development and the best of traditional teacher experience. The High/Scope approach is about helping students gain knowledge and skills in important content areas, such as language and literacy, initiative and social relations, movement, music, and classification. High/Scope's Growing Readers Curriculum for Early Literacy (GRC) contains over 100 small-group activities and an accompanying book set that helps engage and instruct students in four critical components of early literacy. GRC is briefly described in this article.
