Synopsis

Think and Learn in Cebuano (Book 1 Edition 1) Magpaminsar ug Magtuun sa Cebuano A Guided Activity Book that Prepares Children Three Years Old and Older for Preparatory and Kindergarten School This book is based on Think and Learn Book 1 that was originally published by VEA Learning, Inc. The guided activities are meant to be used by the child not by himself but with a learning facilitator such as a parent, a teacher, a tutor, an older sibling, a grandparent, or any childcare giver. They are designed to: (a) help children acquire basic skills that are critical for success in Reading, Math and Science, and other subject areas; (b) give children an enjoyable learning experience while developing basic learning skills such as motor skills, listening skills, visual discrimination, reasoning, and thinking; (c) inspire children to think, read, and study independently; and (d) let children feel the joy and see the value of learning at this early stage in their life. The Think and Learn series is divided into Books 1, 2, and 3. Each Book is a set of activities that are suited to a certain age and level of literacy. This allows the child to happily progress from the initial easy activities to the more difficult ones in the next set. As a result, he stays interested and increasingly confident as he hones his skills and improves his thinking. ~ Maruja R. Vea, President, VEA Learning, Inc. The Cebuano text in this book is based on the latest English version of Think and Learn Book 1. It consists of words, phrases, and sentences that are simple, precise, uniquely Cebuano as much as possible, and most important, typical of how children actually speak Cebuano at home and at play. ~ Maruja R. Vea and Beaulah P. Taguiwalo
