Synopsis

The academic and general development of the child is profoundly influenced by the manner in which basic academic skills are learned. The instructional principles that lead to rapid learning with minimal errors are explained in this book. Different forms of learning and the principles applicable to each are described. Emphasis is given to those basic language and mathematics skills that form the cornerstone of academic development, but the principles are also shown to be important in a wider range of contexts and at more advanced stages. The focus is on practical classroom applications. It is a text for courses on learning and instruction, regardless of whether the focus is on regular or special education settings.
