This text is a thorough examination of day-to-day aspects of standards-based, developmentally appropriate teaching of young children. Using student-friendly, readable language, Jo Ann Brewer demonstrates how to integrate developmentally appropriate practice into the early childhood curriculum. The extensive coverage of curriculum, particularly early literacy and language, is a hallmark of this popular text. Unlike other texts in the market, there is a heavy focus on diversity, students with special needs, and real-world experience from teachers currently in the classroom.
