About this title

About the Author

Lois McCue, a New Jersey native, is the director of a preschool and the mother of four children. When her oldest daughter started college, Lois also enrolled. After seven years of attending classes part and full time, she received a B.S. in Early Childhood Education. While in college she worked as an aide in a day care center, and later as a teacher in the same center. She was then asked to organize and direct a new school. She is working on a second book showing the many faces of education.

From the Back Cover

When young children learn, they learn all over. And they are learning all of the time. Lois McCue takes advantage of this and helps young children master language development skills.

By including all the senses, we can help children learn with their entire bodies. In this way, children not only learn the basic building blocks of language, but also experience them.

A wide range of sensory experiences is provided for each letter of the alphabet. In learning the letter "P" for example, children can:

Push an imaginary box
Smell perfume
Dance to a polka
Sing "Polly Put The Kettle On"
Mold P out of play-dough
Read a story that starts with P
Find things in the room that start with P

Each experience includes:

complete background information, a list of materials, and clearly detailed instructions.
