Yardsticks: Children in the Classroom Ages 4-14 : A Resource for Parents and Teachers
I strongly recommend Chip Wood's Yardsticks to every teacher and parent of children ages 4 to 14. --Dr. Louise Bates Ames, Co-Founder, Gesell InstituteThe best single resource on developmental stages that I have found.  I always have this book nearby and give copies to teachers, paraprofessionals, and parents.  I have ordered dozens of Yardsticks, and I keep running out!  --David Snyder, Principal, Allentown, PAWood's warm appreciation of children and his fascination with the ways in which they grow are evident and help to make this a most useful book to anyone interested in child development--in or out of the classroom. --Seth Rockmuller, President, Alliance for Parental Involvement in Education
