Children's Play in Early Childhood Education1. IntroductionChildren's play is an essential aspect of early childhood education. It not only provides opportunities for children to learn and develop various skills, but also contributes to their social, emotional and cognitive development. In this article, we will explore the importance of children's play in early childhood education and discuss its benefits for young children.2. The Importance of Play2.1 Development of Cognitive SkillsPlay provides children with opportunities to explore, experiment and problem solve. Through play, children can develop their cognitive skills such as critical thinking, creativity, and imagination. For example, when children engage in pretend play, they are able to use their imagination to create different scenarios and roles, which in turn enhances their cognitive abilities.2.2 Social and Emotional DevelopmentPlay also plays a crucial role in the social and emotionaldevelopment of young children. When children engage in play activities with their peers, they learn important social skills such as sharing, cooperation, andmunication. Additionally, play allows children to express their emotions and feelings in a safe and supportive environment, which helps them develop emotional resilience and empathy.2.3 Physical DevelopmentPhysical play, such as running, jumping, and climbing, is essential for the physical development of children. It helps them develop their gross and fine motor skills, coordination, and balance. Moreover, physical play promotes a healthy and active lifestyle, which is important for children's overall well-being.3. Types of Play in Early Childhood Education3.1 Sensorimotor PlaySensorimotor play involves activities that engage children's senses and motor skills. This type of play includes activities such as playing with sensory materials (e.g. sand, water, playdough), exploring different textures, and engaging in movement-based activities. Sensorimotor play is important for children's sensory development and helps them make sense of the world aroundthem.3.2 Constructive PlayConstructive play involves activities that allow children to build, create, and manipulate objects. This type of play includes playing with building blocks, puzzles, and other constructive toys. Constructive play promotes children's problem-solving skills, spatial awareness, and creativity.3.3 Dramatic PlayDramatic play, also known as pretend play, is when children engage in role-playing and imaginative activities. This type of play allows children to explore different roles, relationships, and scenarios, which enhances their language and social skills. Dramatic play also helps children make sense of the world and express their thoughts and feelings.3.4 Cooperative PlayCooperative play involves activities in which children work together towards amon goal. This type of play includes games, sports, and collaborative projects. Cooperative play promotes teamwork,munication, and conflict resolution skills, and helps children develop positive social relationships with their peers.4. The Role of Educators in Supporting Children's Play4.1 Creating a Playful EnvironmentEducators play a crucial role in creating a playful and supportive environment for children's play. They can design the physical space to include a variety of play materials and areas for different types of play. Moreover, educators can incorporate open-ended materials that encourage children's creativity and imagination.4.2 Facilitating Play ExperiencesEducators can also facilitate play experiences by observing and interacting with children during play. They can ask open-ended questions, provide scaffolding, and extend children's play through meaningful conversations and interactions. By actively participating in children's play, educators can support children's learning and development.4.3 Valuing Children's PlayIt is important for educators to recognize the value of children's play and its significance in early childhood education. They should advocate for the importance of play andmunicate itsbenefits to parents, policymakers, and other stakeholders. Educators can also create opportunities for family involvement in children's play and encourage parents to support play at home.5. ConclusionIn conclusion, children's play is an integral part of early childhood education and provides numerous benefits for young children. It fosters their cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development, and enables them to explore, learn, and grow. Educators play a vital role in supporting children's play by creating a conducive environment, facilitating play experiences, and advocating for the value of play. By recognizing the importance of children's play, we can ensure that all children have the opportunity to engage in rich and meaningful play experiences that promote their overall well-being and development.。
雅思考试真题:2012年12月1日雅思阅读A类回顾与点评achievement and achievement-related aspirations. Parental educational level is an important predictor of children’s education al and behavioral outcomes (Davis-Kean, 2005; Dearing, McCartney, & Taylor, 2002; Duncan, Brooks-Gunn, & Klebanov, 1994; Haveman & Wolfe, 1995; Nagin & Tremblay, 2001; Smith, Brooks-Gunn, & Klebanov, 1997). The majority of research on the ways in which parental education shapes child outcomes has been conducted through cross-sectional correlational analyses or short-term longitudinal designs in which parents and children are tracked through the child’s adolescent years. Our main goals in the current study were to examine long-term effects on children’s educational and occupational success of their parents’ educational level while controlling for other indices of family socioeconomic status and the children’s own intelligence, and to examine possible mediator s of the effects of parents’ education on children’s educational and occupational outcomes. Following theory and research on family process models (e.g., Conger et al., 2002; McLoyd, 1989), we expected that indices of family socioeconomic status, including parent education, would predict the quality of family interactions and child behavior. Next, based on social-cognitive-ecological models (e.g., Guerra & Huesmann, 2004; Huesmann, 1998; Huesmann, Eron, & Yarmel, 1987), we expected parental education, the quality of family interactions, and child behavior would shape, by late adolescence, educational achievement and aspirations for future educational and occupational success. Finally, following Eccles’ expectancy-value model (Eccles, 1993; Frome & Eccles, 1998), we predicted that late adolescent aspirations for future success would affect actual educational and occupational success in adulthood. We use data from the Columbia County Longitudinal Study, a 40-year developmental study initiated in 1960 with data collected most recently in 2000 (Eron, Walder, & Lefkowitz, 1971; Lefkowitz, Eron, Walder, & Huesmann, 1977; Huesmann, Dubow, Eron, Boxer, Slegers, & Miller, 2002; Huesmann, Eron, Lefkowitz, & Walder, 1984).Go to:Family Contextual Influences during Middle ChildhoodIn terms of socioeconomic status (SES) factors, the positive link between SES and children’s achievement is well-established (Sirin, 2005; White, 1982). McLoyd’s (1989; 1998) seminal literature reviews also have documented well the relation of poverty and low socioeconomic status to a range of negative child outcomes, including low IQ, educational attainment and achievement, and social-emotional problems. Parental education is an important index of socioeconomic status, and as noted, it predicts children’s educational and behavioral outcomes. However, McLoyd has pointed out the value of distinguishing among various indices of family socioeconomic status, including parental education, persistent versus transitory poverty, income, and parental occupational status, because studies have found that income level and poverty might be stronger predictors of children’s cognitive outcomes compared to other SES indices (e.g., Duncan et al., 1994; Stipek, 1998). Thus, in the present study, we control for other indices of socioeconomic status when considering the effects of parental education.In fact, research suggests that parental education is indeed an important and significant unique predictor of child achievement. For example, in an analysis of data from several large-scale developmental studies, Duncan and Brooks-Gunn (1997) concluded that maternal education was linked significantly to children’s intellectual outcomes even after controlling for a variety of other SES indicators such as household income. Davis-Kean (2005) found direct effects of parental education, but not income, on European American children’s standardized achievement scores; both parental education and income exerted indirect effects on parents’ achievement-fostering behaviors, and subse quently children’s achievement, through their effects on parents’ educational expectations. Thus far, we have focused on the literature on family SES correlates of children’s academic and behavioral adjustment. However, along with those contemporaneous lin ks between SES and children’s outcomes, longitudinal research dating back to groundbreaking status attainment models (e.g, Blau & Duncan, 1967; Duncan, Featherman, & Duncan, 1972) indicates clearlythat family of origin SES accounts meaningfully for educational and occupational attainment during late adolescence and into adulthood (e.g., Caspi, Wright, Moffitt, & Silva, 1998; Johnson et al., 1983; Sobolewski & Amato, 2005; for a review, see Whitson & Keller, 2004). For example, Caspi et al. reported that lower parental occupational status of children ages 3–5 and 7–9 predicted a higher risk of the child having periods of unemployment when making the transition from adolescence to adulthood. Johnson et al. (1983) found that mothers’ and fathers’ educational l evel and fathers’ occupational status were related positively to their children’s adulthood occupational status. Few studies, however, are prospective in nature spanning such a long period of time (i.e., a 40-year period from childhood to middle adulthood). Also, few studies include a wide range of contextual and personal predictor variables from childhood and potential mediators of the effects of those variables from adolescence.Go to:Potential Mediators of the Effects of Family Contextual Influences during Childhood on Adolescent and Adult OutcomesFamily process models (e.g., Conger et al., 2002; McLoyd, 1989; Mistry, Vanderwater, Huston, & McLoyd, 2002) have proposed that the effects of socioeconomic stress (e.g., financial strain, unstable employment) on child outcomes are mediated through parenting stress and family interaction patterns (e.g., parental depressed mood; lower levels of warmth, nurturance, and monitoring of children). That is, family structural variables such as parental education and income affect the level of actual interactions within the family, and concomitantly, the child’s behavior. It is well established within broader social learning models (e.g., Huesmann, 1998) that parents exert substantial influence on their children’s behavi or. For example, children exposed to more rejecting and aggressive parenting contexts, as well as interparental conflict, display greater aggression (Cummings & Davies, 1994; Eron et al., 1971; Huesmann et al., 1984; Lefkowitz et al., 1977) and the effects between negative parenting and child aggression arebi-directional (Patterson, 1982). Presumably, children learn aggressive problem-solving styles as a result of repeated exposure to such models, and in turn parents use more power assertive techniques to manage the child’s behavior.Researchers also have shown that behavioral problems such as early aggression impair children’s academic and intellectual development over time (e.g., Hinshaw, 1992; Huesmann, Eron, & Yarmel, 1987). Stipek (1998) has argued that behavioral problems affect young children’s opportunities to learn because these youth often are punished for their behavior and might develop conflictual relationships with teachers, thus leading to negative attitudes about school and lowered academic success. Thus, it is possible that low socioeconomic status (including low parental educational levels) could affect negative family interaction patterns, which can influence child behavior problems (measured in our study by aggression), and in turn affect lowered academic and achievement-oriented attitudes over time.Parent education and family interaction patterns during childhood also might be linked more directly to the child’s developing academic success and achievement-oriented attitudes. In the general social learning and social-cognitive framework (Bandura, 1986), behavior is shaped in part through observational and direct learning experiences. Those experiences lead to the formation of internalized cognitive scripts, values, and beliefs that guide and maintain behavior over time (Anderson & Huesmann, 2003; Huesmann, 1998). According to Eccles (e.g., Eccles, 1993; Eccles, Vida, & Barber, 2004; Eccles, Wigfield, & Schiefele, 1998), this cognitive process accounts for the emergence and persistence of achievement-related behaviors and ultimately to successful achievement. Eccles’ framework emphasizes in particular the importance of children’s expectations for success, with parents assuming the role of “expectancy socializers” (Frome & Eccles, 1998, p. 437).Thus, for example, a child exposed to parents who model achievement-oriented behavior (e.g., obtaining advanced degrees; reading frequently; encouraging astrong work ethic) and provide achievement-oriented opportunities (e.g., library and museum trips; after-school enrichment programs; educational books and videos) should develop the guiding belief that achievement is to be valued, pursued, and anticipated. This belief should then in turn promote successful outcomes across development, including high school graduation, the pursuit of higher learning, and the acquisition of high-prestige occupations. Not surprisingly, there are positive relations between parents’ levels of education and parents’ expectations for their children’s success (Davis-Kean, 2005), suggesting that more highly educated parents actively encourage their children to develop high expectations of their own. Importantly, on the other hand, McLoyd’s (1989) review found that parents who experience difficult economic times have children who are more pessimistic about their educational and vocational futures.In the current study, we assume a broad social-cognitive-ecological (Guerra & Huesmann, 2004; Metropolitan Area Child Study Research Group, 2002; also “developmental-ecological,” Dodge & Pettit, 2003) perspective on behavior development. This view proposes that it is the cumulative influence both of childhood environmental-contextual factors (e.g., parental education, family interactions, school climate, neighborhood efficacy) and individual-personal factors (e.g., IQ and aggression) that shapes enduring cognitive styles (e.g., achievement orientation, hostile worldview) in adolescence. Once formed, those styles allow for the prediction of functioning into adulthood above and beyond the effects of the earlier influences. In this view, then, cognitive factors such as beliefs and expectations present during adolescence serve as internal links between early contextual and personal factors and later outcomes.题型难度分析此文不难,是旧文。

填空题7,判断题 6题型分布与答案参考答案回忆待补充相关拓展The rapid spread of Australia's cane toad pestsThey are toxic invaders that have conquered swathes of northernAustralia as they continue their seemingly irrepressible march westtowards the Indian Ocean.Packed with poison and supremely adaptable, the dreaded cane toad, orBufo marinus, has few friends in Australia, where a massive scientific andcommunity effort has failed to stop their advance."They probably have moved about halfway through that tropical regionof Western Australia," explained Rick Shine, a professor in biology at the University of Sydney. "They are in very inaccessible country now in the Kimberley. It is very hard to get detailed information on exactly where the front is but it seems to be moving at 50 to 60km (31 to 37 miles) per annum."The warty amphibians move only during the wet season. Although tracking studies have shown many hop less than 10 metres a day, those atthe front line have grown bigger and faster."The guys at the invasion front up in the tropics are moving often kilometres in a single night and they have evolved this very distinctive behaviour," Prof Shine told the BBC."They've actually evolved differences in shape and physiology as well. Essentially they have turned into these dispersal machines and they moveas far as they can, as fast as they can." Experts are reluctant to speculateon how many of these unwelcome pests have been unleashed across Australia's north. They are prolific breeders - some estimates put the figure at around 1.5 billion - but it is impossible to know for sure.Australia has a long and depressing history of inadvertently introducingwrecking ball species as pets and livestock, or for sport. Examples include foxes, pigs and rabbits, goats, camels and cats. Invasive plants and fish have also had a dramatic effect on native flora and fauna, but it is the cane toad that is widely reviled above all else.How did they arrive?For Australia, the grim story began in the sugar cane plantations of Puerto Rico, which had imported giant toads from South America to eatthe grubs that were devouring the crop.Word spread of the successes of these bug-catching amphibians and by the 1930s, the cane toads were being sent around the world. In 1935, 101toads arrived in Far North Queensland in areas including Cairns and Innisfail, before being bred in captivity. Their progeny was released on missions to hunt and kill cane-destroying beetles on Australia's north-eastcoast.have snared countless numbers over the Community toad “musters”years. In 2005 David Tollner, a former federal MP, famously urged Northern Territory residents to help squash the problem with their golfclubs and cricket bats - effectively turning eradication into sport.Then there was the so-called "bottom-line" defence supported by the RSPCA in Darwin, which recommended killing captured amphibians bysmearing them with haemorrhoid cream, which acted as an anaesthetic.In 2009, toads crossed the Western Australian border with the Northern Territory, more than 2,000km from the site of their original release 74 years earlier.It was a dark day that conservationists had both dreaded and seen coming. The invasion penetrated the Kimberley region, an area three times the size of England and regarded as a wilderness frontier. "Sadly,the Kimberley has lost the battle to the cane toad. They have invaded close to 70% of the Kimberley, so the toads are well and truly on their way to the northern coastal areas," said Lee Scott-Virtue, the president of Kimberley Toadbusters, a group she set up in 2004."It has been a really disturbing lesson. The problem is they are adaptingto dry, desert conditions. They are adjusting to very cold climates and they are actually starting to breed in saline water."Most recent discoveryOn Wednesday, wildlife rangers revealed a cane toad was found beside aroad near Mount Kosciuszko in southern New South Wales. Authoritiessuspect it was carried in by a tourist, and have not found other evidenceof the species there. Nonetheless, they are concerned. "There are certainlyenvironment and times of the year when such an animal could persist(survive)," Dave Woods, a state wildlife officer, told the AustralianBroadcasting Corp. He said toads could provide a fresh threat toendangered species in the area, a national park.The toads are devourers of insects and other small prey, but they are attheir most destructive when they are eaten by larger predators, such assnakes, goannas and freshwater crocodiles. A large gland on the toad'sshoulder is loaded with deadly cardiac toxins.In an unusual move, researchers are trying to train predators to avoidlarger cane toads by feeding them smaller specimens, which make themill but should not kill them. These so-called taste-aversion strategiesinclude feeding sausages made of minced amphibian to northern quolls, acarnivorous marsupial. They eat the meat, which causes vomiting, in thehope it will put them off eating toads again. A large-scale trial is due tostart in Western Australia soon. Corrin Everitt, from the state'sDepartment of Parks and Wildlife, told the BBC that while the projectcould ensure fewer large predators were lost, it would not halt theinvasion. "At the moment we're predicting the toads to take at least fiveyears to reach the Broome area," she said. "They are an amazing animalwhen you take away all the ugliness about them. You just wish that ournative species could be as adaptable and successful in colonising areas asthey are."Passage 2:文章内容讲述Mr. Flynn偶然间发明的一种water filter,不仅便宜好用,而且还讲述了water filter的制作过程。

Early Childhood EducationNew Zealand’s National Party spokesman on education, Dr Lockwood Smith, recently visited the US and Britain. Here he reports on the findings of his trip and what they could mean for New Zealand’s education policy.儿童早期教育新西兰国家党教育发言人Lockwood Smith博士最近访问了美国和英国。
下面是他撰写的一份报告,文中阐述了他此行的收获以及这些收获对新西兰教育政策的意义。
A‘Education To Be More’ was published last August. It was the report of the New Zealand Government’s Early Childhood Care and Education Working Group. The report argued for enhanced equity of access and better funding for childcare and early childhood education institutions. Unquestionably, that’s a real need; but since parents don’t normally send children to pre-schools until the age of three, are we missing out on the most important years of all?A 《教育增进能力》是一份由新西兰政府儿童早期关怀和教育工作小组所作的报告,于去年8月出版。
孩子早上学的好处与坏处雅思作文Living in a world where competition has never become less tough and where a stressfree lifestyle seems to be luxury, many children these days have to necessarily sacrifice a happy childhood for preparing their future life. Therefore, starting formal schooling at age 7 is not realistic and instead young children might as well begin formal study earlier.Receiving formal education early could not just make preparation for cognitive development but encourage and enable them to learn better social skills. For one thing, with the play-centered approach and with the help of dedicated, well-trained,and professional teachers, those young pupils will in advance have access to basic literacy and numeracy skills, an effective way that will in the future give them an edge in academic performance as well as cognitive ability. For another, the school, a society in miniature, is a better place for them to know different people from different places, and a even safer place in which they can gradually understand how to interact with teachers or peers andhow to cooperate with each other from an early age. This is a necessary stage for them to lay solid foundation for the complex social life in the real life.Becoming a primary school student at seven is feasible but is more likely to inflict pressure on children. Maybe starting later will give more time for children to mature andthis will also reduce the risks of behavioral problems and poor academic achievement. But if lagging behind other peers academically, children who go to school later will be under peer pressure,even an erosion of learning. This is way worse in an era when being a quick learner is of the essence and when everything seems to go so fast that they could not miss out on any opportunity as everyone around them struggles. So this way is not to children’s advantage in today‘s society.In conclusion, workable theoretically as it is, starting formal schooling later does not keep pace with the global development so what children need to do is to go to school as early as possible provided that this barely has detrimental effects on their growth.译文:生活在一个竞争的世界从来没有变得不那么艰难,无压力的生活方式似乎是奢侈品,许多孩子这些天一定牺牲一个快乐的童年,他们未来的生活做准备。
Early Childhood EducationThe scientific studies have shown that after a baby comes to form, his intelligence grows very fast from 0 to 6 years old, and the early childhood education will exert unexpected effect on kid’s self-consciousness, emotion and intellectual. So during this period, they need to be well educated. But nowadays, plenty of parents still attach not enough importance to their children’s earlier education, especially i n some backward countryside. As the couples have to work to support the family, they usually leave their kids to their grandparents or the baby-sitter who can take care of the babies’ physical body well but often neglect their spiritual cultivation. For th is situation, I think the meticulous education is essential to their later development, and every parent should put more energy into their children’s growth even if one of them has to quit job.The early education should begin with antenatal training. Before giving a birth, mothers should create an inside and outside healthy environment to stimulate the growth of the fetus appropriately through regulating both the physical and their mental states of themselves. At a certain period of time, mothers should provide the fetuses with education of visual、auditory、 and tactile sense, such as, listening to some lyrical music, reading funny stories, and watching some meaningful videos.Prenatal education has many merits. Firstly, Researches show that the babies who have accept comprehensive antenatal training will be more sensitive to music, and they have higher talent on this aspect. They’ll be very delighted as soon as they listen to the music at the same time they make some reaction. Secondly, their psychology will also be healthier and their parents will feel it easy and pleasure to foster them. Their emotion will be more stable, and they are usually cheerful in the day and less to cry in the night. Thirdly, their athletic capacity will grow well, and their four limbs will also be more agile. It will be easier and faster for them to learn to sit, to creep, to walk, and to speak.Before the kids go to a nursery school, parents should shape their kids good living habits through good leading. Most of parents care more about if their children can excel at studying in the past also if their children look good. But now they must know their personality is also very important. At first, parents must create a cozy family atmosphere to give the child a sense of security so that they will not crying around. Second they should set themselves examples through petty things, such as, throwing the litter into the dustbin. Thirdly, take all chance to get them acquainted to the surroundings, such as, teaching them the name of what they often eat and use, which can cultivate their capability of independent memory and thinking.The upper measures are very imperative for the later education. About 3 years old, the kids should be sent to the kindergarten. At the beginning of their school many kids may feel scared、anxiety and distracted, even worse, the situation would last a long time. But if the upper trainings are carried out well, they can accept the new very fast and very effectively.After the kids go to school, the parents also should do many things. First, they must help the children standardize their working and resting schedule. They cannot indulge them to get up late or late for class or be absent for school. Next, encourage them to do homework alone and sometimes company with them when at home. Teach them the rapid way of mental arithmetic. Don’t let them form the habit of lazy thinking. Then, leading them to do some easy housework, and let them learn to bearfamily responsibility. Finally, often talk to them about what they have experience in school and look into their eyes with kindness and love so that they will be more confident.Since the early childhood education is so valuable and there are varieties of techniques we need to learn, not only the parents should value on it, but also the government and society should maximize it.。

Early Childhood EducationNew Zealand's National Pony spokesman on education, Dr Lockwood Smith, recently visited the US and Britain. Here he reports on the findings of his tripand what they could mean for New Zealand's education policy.【A】'Education To Be More' was published last August. It was the report of the New Zealand Government's Early Childhood Care and Education Working Group. The report argued for enhanced equity of access and better funding for childcare and early childhood education institutions. Unquestionably, that's a real need; but since parents don't normally send children to pre-schools until the age of three, are we missing out on the most important years of all?【B】A 13-year study of early childhood development at Harvard University has shown that, by the age of three, most children have the potential to understand about 1000 words - most of the language they will use in ordinary conversation for the rest of their lives.Furthermore, research has shown that while every child is born with a natural curiosity, it can be suppressed dramatically during the second and third years of life. Researchers claim that the human personality is formed during the first two years of life, and during the first three years children learn the basic skills they will use in all their later learning both at home and at school. Once over the age of three, children continue to expand on existing knowledge of the world.【C】It is generally acknowledged that young people from poorer socio-economic backgrounds tend to do less well in our education system. That's observed not just in New Zealand, but also in Australia, Britain and America. In an attempt to overcome that educational under-achievement, a nationwide programme called 'Headstart' was launched in the United States in 1965. A lot of money was poured into it. It took children into pre-school institutions at the age of three and was supposed to help the children of poorer families succeed in school.Despite substantial funding, results have been disappointing. It is thought that there are two explanations for this. First, the programme began too late. Many children who entered it at the age of three were already behind their peers in language and measurable intelligence. Second, the parents were not involved. At the end of each day, 'Headstart' children returned to the same disadvantaged home environment.【D】As a result of the growing research evidence of the importance of the first three years of a child's life and the disappointing results from 'Headstart', a pilot programme was launched in Missouri in the US that focused on parents as the child's first teachers. The 'Missouri' programme was predicated on research showing that working with the family, rather than bypassing the parents, is the most effective way of helping children get off to the best possible start in life. The four-year pilot study included 380 families who were about to have their first child and who represented a cross-section of socio-economic status, age and family configurations. They included single-parent and two-parent families, families in which both parents worked, and families with either the mother or father at home.The programme involved trained parent¬educators visiting the parents' home and working with the parent, or parents, and the child. Information on child development, and guidance on things to look for and expect as the child grows were provided, plus guidance in fostering the child's intellectual, language, social and motor-skill development. Periodic check-ups of the child's educational and sensory development (hearing and vision) were made to detect possible handicaps that interfere with growth and development. Medical problems were referred to professionals.Parent-educators made personal visits to homes and monthly group meetings were held with other new parents to share experience and discuss topics of interest. Parent resource centres, Located in school buildings, offered learning materials for families and facilitators for child care.【E】At the age of three, the children who had been involved in the 'Missouri' programme were evaluated alongside a cross-section of children selected from the same range of socio-economic backgrounds and Family situations, and also a random sample of children that age. The results were phenomenal.By the age of three, the children in the programme were significantly more advanced in language development than their peers, had made greater strides in problem solving and other intellectual skills, and were further along in social development. In fact, the average child on the programme was performing at the level of the top 15 to 20 per cent of their peers in such things as auditory comprehension, verbal ability and language ability.Most important of all, the traditional measures of 'risk', such as parents' age and education, or whether they were a single parent, bore little or no relationship to the measures of achievement and language development. Children in the programme performed equally well regardless of scio-economic disadvantages.Child abuse was virtually eliminated. The one factor that was found to affect the child's development was family stress leading to a poor quality of parent-child interaction. That interaction was not necessarily bad in poorer families.【F】These research findings are exciting. There is growing evidence in New Zealand that children from poorer socio-economic backgrounds are arriving at school less well developed and that our school system tends to perpetuate that disadvantage.The initiative outlined above could break that cycle of disadvantage.The concept of working with parents in their homes, or at their place of work, contrasts quite markedly with the report of the Early Childhood Care and Education Working Group. Their focus is on getting children and mothers access to childcare and institutionalised early childhood education.Education from the age of three to five is undoubtedly vital, but without a similar focus on parent education and on the vital importance of the first three years, some evidence indicates that it will not be enough to overcome educational inequity.Questions 5-10Classify the following features as characterisingA the 'Headstart'programmeB the 'Missouri' programmeC both the 'Headstart' and the 'Missouri' programmesD neither the 'Headstart' nor the 'Missouri'programmeWrite the correct letter A, B.
