Concept books are books that have pictures and don’t really have a plot, characters, or a dialogue which are perfect for young children. However, some concept books that form the core of many concepts books, such as one-to-one number correspondence, are typically learned toward the end of early childhood, around seven years old, and after children have certainly been exposed to a wide range of informational picture books (Carlson, n.d.). Teachers are able to use these books as a visual tool to introduce to children the different shapes, colors, alphabet letters, and numbers. Children can learn a lot from the environment around them and reading books in that environment. The children use their thinking and cognitive skills to become literate.
There is a famous quote by John F. Kennedy “The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth.” As a parent, people around us might view home schooling as better especially those that home schooled as a child growing up. Most parents’ think that having their child interact with other children is important, but that can be accomplished after school as well, by playing or engaging in recreational activities. Public school encourages socialization everyday and developing new friendships, they are also interacting with children

Children Benefit from Inclusion Classrooms Harmony L. Sturdevant ENG/102 May 19, 2013 Melissa Gardner Would someone be pleased if they had a special needs child that was excluded from experiencing a regular classroom setting because of their disability? Would they want their child to be treated fairly and not be considered an outcast when they are placed on an Individual Education Plan (IEP)? If the answer is no to both questions, then people should consider and appreciate the rights of children with disabilities and how effective an inclusion classroom environment is to children. Children on Individual Education Plans benefit from being in an inclusion classroom because they are helping peers and teachers to understand diversity and are given an opportunity to be treated equally without disrupting a regular classroom setting. Inclusion classrooms were developed to help a child with special needs become a part of a regular classroom that is the least restrictive as possible.
The mentors mainly work with children who experience 'barriers to learning', including poor literacy/numeracy skills, under-performance against potential, poor attendance, disaffection, danger of exclusion, difficult family circumstances and low self-esteem. Ofsted (2007) also make reference to the role of the Learning Mentor. They found that pupils benefited from the increased support received. It was also stated that by deploying adults with different skills within the school setting allowed schools to improve the care and support given to the more vulnerable pupils and those at risk. This was not realised when schools did not match skills and
Making Fun of an Audience In Mark Twain’s “Advice to Youth” satire is integrated into the text to make fun of an audience, even though he gives “…Didactic, instructive,” or “Good advice” (291). He criticizes the standard relationship form between children and their parents, specifically attacking the lack of humor between children and parents. When parents take things way too seriously when something “bad” happens which is not the best approach to solve minor problems that arise. Twain is skilled in many different art forms of language. He advises the reader to learn the same skill sets early on in life so that they can take advantage of the opportunities in front of them.
The Civil Right Movement brought about legislation in preventing prejudice towards people with disabilities allowing them the right to an education. Legislation made sure parents are well-informed of their rights concerning their child’s education and special instructions designed to meet their needs. The social implications of litigation on the lives of students with disabilities is giving students equality in education where teachers develop modification and accommodations to meet student’s academic and social goals. I would say thinking has changed dramatically regarding the understanding of students with disabilities. For, many people did not understand or had the true knowledge of disabilities and how to help students with disabilities.
At this age we need to remember to comfort the child if they become upset and be someone they can speak to if they choose too, it is important we do not shout at children as this could cause them more upset and distress. Also we should be lively and energetic and enjoy taking part in activities they enjoy and provide new challenges for them. Primary schools- During this age it is important to listen to the children however the teaching assistant must make eye contact, lower themselves to the child’s level and speak to the child in a positive way. Children will start to learn boundaries during this time so it is about enforcing them in a positive and encouraging way. Encouragement is also important during all aspects of school life such as during lessons, their work, forming friendships and finding new things because this will help the children to try new things and to progress and move forward with their development and education.
There has been an on-going debate whether or not to include such classes during school hours, yet it is clearly evident that Child Development hours are a necessity. One of the major roles of Child Development programs is that they provide learners with general knowledge and let them become open to their society and surrounding. To begin with, lectures about social interactions are given to students by experts and teachers of high level of understanding. To point out, those teachers talk about the importance of friendship and stress on the real meaning of “true friends” in addition to romantic relationships with members of the opposite sex. Moreover, one’s health and how to take care of one’s body is discussed during a series of orations.
Delfinio I. Velasquez Professor: Tami Comstock Eng- 80-32544 3/26/2013 How Autonomy should be used with Parenting Parents want what is best for their kids, but what they think is best for their kids depends on what parents think an ideal adult looks like as a whole. Daniel H. Pink in Drive analyzes how authentic motivation and autonomy are required for children potential to be preserved. Parents should use more autonomy as much as they can to let their children feel that they are controlling their own life. This will increase their motivation in many areas and gain more confidence to achieve better grades in school. Allowing children to be able to think independently and create their own behavior can be an effective way to allow for more autonomy, improving their motivation in many areas and get the confidence to achieve better grades in school.
