Books have been included because they are a wonderful means of teaching children about cultural diversity as well as diversity of ability. Reading books with good vocabulary, clear, concise, uncluttered illustrations and simple story with repeated lines will encourage children to be active participants in literacy activities. In addition, the curriculum uses visual pictures, mostly pictures from Mayer Johnson's preschool edition of Boardmaker. There is a visual picture paired with each activity and on every switch used. The activity is paired with a picture and simple language.
Visual cues assist children in using their strengths.
Again, the high structure of the pictures if helpful for many children. The pictures, along with simple words, provide a language rich motor environment. These symbol can be found in the back of the curriculum. The important elements of the preschool curriculum are self-organization, repetition, and motor. Self organization through the use of structure, routine and music plays a significant role in creating a supportive learning environment.
