Description

An Integrated Play-Based Curriculum for Young Children, Second Edition explores how to integrate play across the curriculum, helping teachers develop their early childhood curriculum using developmentally and culturally appropriate practice. Distinguished author Olivia N. Saracho offers a theoretical framework for understanding the origins of an early childhood play-based curriculum and illuminates how young children learn and understand concepts in a social and physical environment. This second edition has been fully updated throughout and its comprehensive coverage has been expanded with entirely new sections on technology and social media, cultural differences in play, and teaching ELLs and students with disabilities. Packed with vignettes, activities, and practical examples, this text is essential reading for pre-service teachers seeking appropriate theoretical practices for designing and implementing a play-based curriculum. Special Features Include: Suggestions and guidelines for activities and choosing classroom materials. Discussion of a full range of curriculum areas and topics including literacy, language, science, social studies, mathematics, art, music, blocks, and movement. Vignettes of children’s conversations and examples of how children learn through play. End-of-chapter summaries to enhance and extend an understanding of young children.
