The Home Stretch.
Cansler, Dot
Originally conceived as an adjunct to the publication "A Planning Guide to the Preschool Curriculum," this home activities guide can be used by any parent of a young child. The guide consists of 44 units (each centered on a specific concept) designed to provide a variety of cognitive, sensory, and motor experiences. Most of the home activities require parent participation and have been chosen to enhance parent/child interaction as well as the child's skills. Typical of the activities included are "Body Parts,""Buildings,""Autumn,""Pets,""Winter Holidays,""Kitchen," and "Things We Do." A short list of related children's books has been appended to each of the units. In loose-leaf format, most units are compact enough to permit duplication for distribution to parents. Activities require items commonly found in most homes. (RH)
