Teaching Thinking Skills Across the Early Years (Wallace)
 | Belle Wallace This book helps teachers to incorporate problem-solving and thinking skills into the National Curriculum at the Foundation Phase and Key Stage 1, in line with QCA and DfES recommendations. It presents a range of activities for children aged 4-7 years, all of which have been tried and tested in classrooms. The ideas are cross-referenced with the Learning Objectives of the National Curriculum, and are enhanced with samples of children's work. It provides sections on the core subjects of literacy, numeracy and science, and ideas for project work across the curriculum. This book is aimed at teachers at the Foundation Phase and Key Stage 1. Review from Amazon by C. Dean: A superb book which had me hooked from the minute I opened it. I had heard all about The TASC wheel from KS2 colleagues and was intrigued by it and curious to know how relevant it was to The Foundation Stage. This book gave me the confidence and inspiration to create a wheel in my Reception classroom and to take the first step on a creative and exciting journey with a class of 4 and 5 year olds who embraced it with open arms. A must have for any Reception teachers unsure about whether or not to take the TASC plunge! |
