Literacy Play Centers
This book provides early childhood teachers with 15 literacy play centers that can be incorporated into thematic units of study appropriate for young children. Centers include Grocery Store, Doctor's Office, Barber Shop/Hair Salon, Post Office, and Bank. The center activities build on children's emerging understanding of literacy, mathematics, and their community as they learn about familiar retail stores and businesses. Role-playing activities with real and pretend props will help children develop social skills, such as cooperation, negotiation, and sharing. 160 pages.
