Synopsis

This series of books provides ready-made ideas for developing all the essential skills within the Early Learning Goals and also many of those covered by the Baseline Assessment schemes. Each book takes one particular skill and includes double-page spreads of activity ideas. The left-hand page provides a practical group activity using resources typically found in any nursery setting. This is supported with a photocopiable activity on the right-hand page which consolidates the learning and provides an assessment record of each child's individual achievement. The final page contains a photocopiable Skills Development Chart to place in each child's personal portfolio. The ADDING AND SUBTRACTING book focuses on young children's counting, addition and subtraction skills in a variety of situations. Through rhymes, games and practical activities children will develop skills in counting one, then two more or less; combining two groups of objects and counting to find the total; taking objects away and counting how many are left and early work with double numbers to five. The activities include counting frogs, threading beads and taking slices of pizza. There is a gradual progression of difficulty throughout the book.
