Sigurdardottir, M.; Birgisdottir, S.

International Journal of Early Childhood, v30 n1 p9-14 May 1998

Details two Icelandic early childhood education projects. "Play and Print" found that increasing print exposure and reinforcing role-play related to reading and writing improved preschoolers' language maturity. The "I Can Do What I Get a Chance to Do" project modified lunch, group time, artwork, and play components of the preschool program to fit the needs of 1- to 3-year olds. (KB)
