Preschool development: reading readiness skills
Preschool development: Teach your child left to right tracking, hand eye coordination, and other reading readiness skills.
Although you do not want to push your preschooler too hard, there are many fun activities that you can engage in that will provide your child with reading readiness skills. You certainly will want to encourage a reading-positive attitude in your child. One of the best ways to do this is to show your child that you enjoy reading to him/her and on your own. Also, try to model different types of reading, so that your child realizes that there are many reasons for reading. Your child will also need to know that there are different types of reading. Sometimes we read for information. Sometimes we read for pleasure. Sometimes we just scan an article or recipe for a few quick facts. Reading requires the ability to track words and letters from left to right. Your child will not need special training to do learn how to do this. The easiest way to encourage development of this skill is to place your finger beneath each word that you are reading aloud in your childs picture books. Have your child follow along with his/her eyes as you are reading. You can also let your child put his/her finger on the words as you read them. bodyOffer(27087) Your child will also need hand eye coordination. This can be very simple and very fun to encourage in your child. Play catch! Its that simple. Your child will need this skill to hold a book, read the words, and turn the pages. So, allow your child to handle books. Encourage your child to point to objects in the books and identify them. Let your child turn the pages of the book that you are reading to him/her.

Preschool Development
Three Years
At this age your child is becoming more independent and you can expect him to dress himself and button clothes, brush his teeth with help, stack 9-10 blocks, draw circles and squares, use scissors, walk up steps by alternating his feet, jump from a step, hop, walk on his toes, pedal a tricycle, play with imaginary friends, have a very large vocabulary and use 3-4 word sentences and his speech should be 3/4 understandable. Over the next year his speech will become fully understandable. Your three year old will now begin to play cooperatively with other children in small groups, share his toys and develop friendships. Playtime will include structured games and fantasy activities.

  • Public school teachers must have at least a bachelor’s degree, complete an approved teacher education program, and be licensed.
  • Many States offer alternative licensing programs to attract people into teaching, especially for hard-to-fill positions.
  • Excellent job opportunities are expected as a large number of teachers retire over the next 10 years, particularly at the secondary school level; opportunities will vary somewhat by geographic area and subject taught.
Nature of the Work About this section Back to Top Teachers act as facilitators or coaches, using interactive discussions and “hands-on” approaches to help students learn and apply concepts in subjects such as science, mathematics, or English. They utilize “props” or “manipulatives” to help children understand abstract concepts, solve problems, and develop critical thought processes. For example, they teach the concepts of numbers or of addition and subtraction by playing board games. As the children get older, the teachers use more sophisticated materials, such as science apparatus, cameras, or computers. To encourage collaboration in solving problems, students are increasingly working in groups to discuss and solve problems together. Preparing students for the future workforce is the major stimulus generating the changes in education. To be prepared, students must be able to interact with others, adapt to new technology, and think through problems logically. Teachers provide the tools and the environment for their students to develop these skills.

Preschool Development Biting and Hitting
Biting and Hitting
Feb. 16 2001
Is your youngster having trouble expressing her frustrations verbally? It may be the reason why she's resorting to biting and hitting others.
Often young children go through a phase in life where they express their feelings very clearly with a slap or a hit. For toddlers around the two year mark, words don't come easily and hitting may seem like the only way they can express their frustrations. Although it's not pleasant for the person on the receiving end, biting and hitting is a developmental phase that a lot of toddlers go through, explains Early Childhood Education instructor, Jennifer Hardacre. "It's very natural for little kids to bite because they're not very good at explaining things to others because they are just beginning to understand and grasp language. So when they are very angry and frustrated, it easy just to bite."
At the very least it's embarrassing when your child bites or hits another. And while your first reaction may be to scold or punish your child, Hardacre says the calmer you are when dealing with a biting or hitting toddler, the sooner the problem behavior should rectify itself. "One thing you're not going to say is "that's bad, don't do that", or "you wicked child". Instead a parent should explain that it hurts when they hit or bite, and let the child see the effect their action has had on others like another child who may be crying. Then recognize their anger but tell them not to bite."

PreSchool Development
In order for a child to be prepared for kindergarten, preschools should teach children these ideas: general knowledge, reading and writing readiness, large and fine motor skills, social skills, etc. Preschool teachers believe that children should integrate computers into their classrooms; these teachers believe that computer integration will help to make the children more intelligent. Based on this theory, software companies are making a large profit on young-child educational computer software. "Preschool children represent a lucrative market for software producers." (Lohr). These software packages are designed for the following age groups: 18 month to 3 years, 2 to 4 years, 2 to 5 years, and 3 to 5 years old. There are many reasons why teachers want to use Internet in their classrooms; Overall, they believe that Internet technology is important to the child's development. They also believe that the Internet is a great tool that can benefit anyone. One of the main reasons that teachers use the Internet in their classes is to expose children to a new way of life. The Internet also makes subject concepts come alive. For example, if you were learning about different Marine Mammals, you could do a search and find millions of resources on Marine creatures. You could find sites that showed graphics of each animal, videos of the animals, animal sounds that each creature makes, etc. The Internet opens anyone's mind to new possibilities; it also shows students a new way to learn and to gather information.

Aggression and Anger in Young Children
Oct. 03 2002
At around a year or 18 months of age, many parents notice a change in children’s behavior, as they turn from a lovable cuddly infant to an aggressive little tyke.
Biting, hitting, kicking. Is toddler aggression normal? Many toddler’s go through a phase where hitting, biting, even kicking are commonplace behaviors. But rest assured. Although this aggressive stage isn’t pleasant it is quite normal, according to child psychiatrist, Dr. Sarah Landy. “Toddlers do need to go through an aggressive stage because that’s a part of becoming their own person,” explains Dr. Landy. “Part of that aggression is to enable them to become their own person and part of it is to help them to feel strong, which is a part of growing up.”
Fortunately, not only does this stage not last long, but also there are things we can teach our children about working out their anger and aggression. “From about three to five we would expect to see a dropping off of aggressive behavior,” says Dr. Landy. “We can help them with this by teaching them to talk about their anger rather than hitting, or (children can) play out their anger through toys. Encouraging those ways of dealing with anger is very important in preschool children.”
Dr.Landy adds that while many parents have trouble seeing their children display angry feelings, it’s actually unrealistic to expect young children to always be calm, cool and collect. In fact sometimes their anger is justified and as parents our goal shouldn’t be to squelch the emotion, but to teach children to express their anger in a healthy, non-violent manner. Dr. Landy says “to expect a child to be good, not to express anger, can be detrimental over the long term for the child and result in anxiety and fears and can result in explosive anger. They may contain their anger for a period of time and then in a period of time, they may explode.”

Elementary Development
Elementary school, like preschool is very important in a child's development. "We ask elementary schools to help shape our student's first and lasting ideas about themselves, their country, and the world." (Bennet, Finn, Cribb 10). They teach basic subjects and they nourish the appetite for learning. Good schools attend to the basic subjects like English, geography, history, math, science, art, music, and now computers. Internet skills are important to a child's education. "Without a good grasp of those skills, your child will be lost in school." (Keizer 31). Schools use software, as well as the Internet to enhance a child's education. One of the more popular software programs are interactive storybooks. "Most interactive storybooks are aimed...at the early reader." (Keizer 33). Teacher's should not forget that elementary school's main purpose is to expose children with other kids who are their age. Interactive is as important to children as Internet skills. One form of computer program that is being used in schools is the CHILD (Computers Helping Instruction and Learning Development) project. "The CHILD (program) incorporates computers in transformed learning environments." (Opperheim 47). This programs uses the aid of computers to help successfully teach students writing, reading, and mathematics. This program was used in grades K-5.

Talking and thinking about holidays in early childhood programs today is a "hot topic." There is an increasing diversity of children, families, and staff who make up our programs. Each may have different ideas of how to celebrate holidays. As educators, we also have the responsibility to meet both the intellectual and social needs of the children we work with. How we meet those needs also applies to how we include holidays in our curriculum. Finally, even for us as adults, the concept of holidays may not be as simple as it seemed when we were young. Particularly, Columbus Day, Thanksgiving, and Halloween seem to challenge our actions in our work and leisure lives. Working through these issues is important, for ourselves, the children, families, and communities we live and work in.

They want to touch, taste, smell, hear, and test things for themselves. They are eager to learn. They learn by experiencing and by doing. Preschoolers learn from their play. They are busy developing skills, using language, and struggling to gain inner control. Preschoolers want to establish themselves as separate from their parents. They are more independent than toddlers. They can express their needs since they have greater command of language.

Introduction Preschool becomes a childcare option when a child begins to leave toddlerhood behind. In fact, that's one of the main differences between preschools and daycare centers : Preschool is for children ages two and a half or so to six; daycare centers are for infants and young toddlers (though many will keep your child until kindergarten). According to a 1996 U.S. Census Bureau report, more than a million U.S. children under five are in a preschool or nursery school program. Aside from that, the two are similar. "A good daycare and a good preschool probably won't be all that different," says Leslie Roffman, director of San Francisco's Little School. "People tend to use the word 'daycare' in a derogatory way, but that's a misconception in popular culture." Daycare centers and preschools must meet the same licensing and accreditation requirements, they cost about the same, and, in general, they can be evaluated using many of the same criteria Ellen Galinsky, co-president of the
