Routledge Language Development for Science: Activities for Home

Help children build essential science language skills through the power of play. This resource provides simple, play-based activities designed to make learning science both effective and fun. It serves as a practical bridge between the classroom and the home, offering teachers a way to support parents in their child's educational journey. The activities are directly linked to school-based Language Development Circle Time sessions, making them a seamless extension of the classroom curriculum. However, they are also versatile enough to be used as independent learning tools. With a clear structure and a logical progression of ideas, this book ensures that learning builds steadily over time. Each activity includes supporting black-line drawings to act as helpful prompts for children. To make communication between home and school easier, the book also features a simple record-keeping system. This makes it an ideal tool for educators who want to provide parents with actionable ways to improve science vocabulary and comprehension in a relaxed, engaging environment.
