Designed to foster the joy of learning and discovery in the first years of school (K-2), The Curriculum Plus Early Learning Collection contains a wealth of current, age-appropriate resources which integrate subject matter with activities that promote the physical, social and cognitive development of young learners.
Big Books: Early years learners are invited to practice their literacy skills as they “read-to-sing” and “sing-to-read”. A download-able vocal version is available as well as a 4-page teaching resource with suggestions for extending the experience to include movement, dance, role-play and oral retelling.
Readers’ Theatre: Build oral language skills and boost self-confidence with 2 engaging, age-appropriate scripts based on titles from the popular Porcupine Collection presented in large print poster (43.2 cm x 55.9 cm) format. Suggested learning opportunities engage children’s imaginations in a variety of hands-on, inquiry-based activities.
Reading Time Rhymes: Three laminated double-sided posters (43.2 cm x 55.9 cm) allow young learners to listen and respond to simple poems, explore sounds, rhythms and language patterns, and develop an awareness of print conventions.
Math Chants: In their play, children use traditional rhymes and enjoy learning new skills through rhyme and rhythm. These 4 math chants – 2 laminated double-sided posters (43.2 cm. x 55.9 cm.) per unit – help children learn the names and values of numbers, practice their counting skills forwards and backwards, and count in multiples. Free online teaching resources provide follow up problem-solving activities.
Early Book Set: Sixteen levelled texts (A-D) feature topics and designs which will stimulate curiosity, discussion and the desire to read independently. Each Curriculum Plus Early Learning Collection unit contains a number of Little Porcupine titles. These photographic nonfiction titles feature a range of curriculum-based math, science and social studies topics. Online teaching support provides suggestions for integrating talking, reading and writing with inquiry-based learning centre activities.
