Enhancement in Learning (Vol 1 & 2)

By Clemence U. Abadilla

The Department of Education has long recognized the importance of early childhood education as a first stage of a more rigorous formal education. Many studies support the principle that the ages 4 and 5 are the period of greatest brain development. When immersed in communication activities, social interactions, and plays and games, children aged 4-6 develop self-worth, comprehend cognitive concepts, number sensitivity and appreciate family values. The enactment of Republic Act No. 10157 or the Kindergarten Education Act is a milestone in the education system.

In consonance with the Kindergarten Curriculum Framework the lessons in this book are presented as learning experiences around the child as a person and as a member of his family, school and community. He comprehends cognitive concepts, values the people and environment around him, appreciates social and spiritual values as he listens to stories, shares experiences, recites poems, plays games with his peers and constructs simple projects.

The author believes that using this book the child becomes an emergent, literate boy or girl

Mastering Preschool Reading (K,P)

by Clemence U. Abadilla

The prereading period starts in early childhood, when a child can already be taught to recognize and read words. Readiness to read is neither physical nor intellectual maturation. Readiness to read is not something to wait for passively. It is a period into which a child may be guided by the teacher and the parent.

The lessons in this worktext aim to offer a systematic prereading experience to preschool learners. The importance of developing readiness for any reading experience at any level cannot be overlooked. When a child is not prepared to do a reading task, his/her frustrations produce a negative effect on learning.

This worktext contains a variety of reading readiness activities on:

  1. Handling crayons, pencils, and
  2. Understanding and speaking words
  3. Following oral directions
  4. Interpreting pictures
  5. Acquiring skills in perceiving sight and sound differences
  6. Following cumulative development of a story
  7. Developing interest in printed words

This worktext hopefully would become a useful and interesting tool for both the teacher and learners in this happy‰ experience of prereading and learning. scissors

  • acquire the skill in perceiving relationships between letter sounds and printed letters
  • follow oral directions
