WOW.......2000-05-27
Well, Its safe to say that my mom has done it again. This is my favorite of all her books so far. Its a real winner.
Full of ideas for fun preschool centers!.......2000-04-04
This is a great book for teachers who are using or thinking about using centers. It is divided by center (art, blocks, music, etc.) and each section explains what skills will be learned in that particular center, how to set the centers up and what materials are needed. Each exciting activity is labeled with the approximate age of children who should use the center along with the skills the child will build. Many of the materials needed are objects generally found in the classroom, but are used in ways you probably haven't thought of. This is a fantastic book for preschool teachers!

Very complete.......2007-01-09
I haven't used a transition book by anyone else to compare, bu thtis book is incredibly detailed. It has discipline, morning, circle, attention getting, games, rhymes, chants, stories...and then What, Why, When, How and preperation information for each activity. And their are hundreds of them! I use it for my own 3 kids and the 3 extra I watch for daycare.
Well-Organized and Solid..........2005-12-15
None of these techniques will revolutionize your classroom, but Jean Feldmen organizes this book (like all of her books) with masterful structure.
Separating the chapters by activity and sub-organizing each chapter by topic allows a teacher to economically turn to the transition she needs with little time to spare. The Discipline and Attention Getter chapters will save tons of time!
One added bonus: Black and white pages that copy easily on any copy machine.
Will keep the little ones busy with lots of ideas.......1998-07-10
I am ordering this book, my current volume of this book is from the library. This is an excellent book. I am a day care provider, and my children were thrilled with all the stuff we found inside this book. All of the materials were easy to get too. I highly recommend it to any teacher of preschoolers and up; and to every day care provider.

Preschool done at home.......2006-08-13
My daughter is a year old right now, but I have begun to look at preschool curriculum for her to complete at home. I was homeschooled in elementary school and loved the experience; I want to share my love of learning with my children.
I have looked at several books and curriculum series, and this book is one that I plan on using. It has lots of great ideas, and while it will take some prep on the part of the parent, the activities are development oriented.
The book is divided into themes such as sports, fall, the farm, shapes, etc, and each theme is accompanied by activites to encourage many developmental skills. All units begin with a picture book suggestion (no specific title, only a topic). The activities include letter and number recognition, a few science experiments, matching and sorting, some cooking, pre-reading and pre-writing, cutting and pasting, and many other preschool activities. There is a variety within each lesson and across the units so that you do not feel as though you are doing the same things over and over again.
Rhymes and songs and games are included too, so multiple learning styles are addressed. The activities can be spread out over a week or two, depending on your child's level and attention span, or you can spend an hour or two on one day.
Anyone interested in home schooling or in supplementing preschool experiences will enjoy this book.
Excellent.......2006-01-27
This is by far the best children's educational book both me and my wife have read (and there have been MANY). The impact made from the activities has been amazing and the kids can't wait for the next lesson. A must have for parents with young children.
Book Description

Very Good.......2006-10-26
Keyser does a wonderful job of making the empowerment of parents a relatively smooth process for early childhood professionals...but the key is to ASSESS, PLAN, IMPLEMENT, and ASSESS again.
Excellent.

Solid, But Too Much Like Its Counterpart.......2005-12-15
Solid. Meticulously Organized. Developmentally Approrpriate.
I use these words to describe this book, but its activities mirror Feldeman's other book (TRANSITION TIME!) too closely to invest in both books.
Please get either book by Feldeman. You don't need both unless you want more of excellence. I don't think you can ever get enough transition knowledge.

A much needed book for parents of special needs children.......1999-12-01
Small Steps Forward by Sarah Newman
This is a great book written by a very impressive woman. Sarah Newman discovered she had an autistic child when her first son was a few months old. Her first reaction was panic and her next thought was to get as much help as she could. She searched for a book on the subject and found that there were none. So Sarah set to and wrote one that made use of her experience parenting her own special needs child. The result is the book - Small Steps Forward.
As you would expect from the circumstances surrounding its creation, the book is down to earth and practical. It is full of the experience that Sarah gained in the day to day problems of managing, entertaining and helping a small child. Sarah is a practical and highly intelligent woman, so there is plenty of sound advice on how to make the best use of professional advice and where to find practicaql help. The book is written with real understanding for the problems involved and comes to the re-assuring conclusion that parents should remember "it is you who know your own child best."
I read this book when my wife was preparing the illustrations and found the experience very moving. It gave me a small insight into the problems and pleasures of parenting a special needs child and struck me as a book that would be a god-send to any parent of such a child. In fact me and my wife have already given it to the parents of one such child. Furthermore I believe that any parents of a child under 5 would find hundreds of good ideas and lots of good advice in the book..
The illustrations are beautiful capturing the "different" charm and beauty that belongs to Downs Syndrome, Autistic, and other special needs children. Parents or young special needs children will find this a beautiful book as well as a supremely useful one. I heartily recommend this book. Nick Mellersh

Customer Reviews:
GOOD but NOT GREAT.......2005-07-20
I really do find this book helpful but was sadly disappointed to find that it didn't have enough activities for 2 yr olds.. If you are teaching children 3 or older I think you will love it.. I have recommended it to my friend who teachs preschool.. But if you are a toddler teacher I would recommend to search for something that has mostly toddler activities..
Poor Format-Generic Activities.......2004-12-11
I was excited to order this book, but found myself very disappointed after opening it. I skimmed through it maybe twice and have had no desire to look at it since. The format of the book is poor (in my opinion), most of the activities are corny and anything but creative, and everything about the book seems outdated. There is no color, pictures, or examples on any of the pages. The majority of the activities are generic and lacking in creativity. I have not used one activity from the book yet. I still can't figure out how they managed to fill so many pages with such bland theme activities.
