ECD learning materials in line with new curriculum

The Sunday Mail

Early Childhood Development (ECD) has been proved to yield benefits in academic achievement, educational progression, attainment and it forms the bedrock for future learning and academic excellence.

“Children whose earliest years are blighted by hunger or disease or whose minds are not stimulated by appropriate interaction with adults and their environment pay for these early deficits throughout their lives – and so does society. Such children are far more likely than their more fortunate peers to do poorly in school, to drop out early, to be functionally illiterate, and to be only marginally employable in today’s increasingly high-technology world. Collectively, these children who have been deprived in early life therefore affect labour productivity and national economic prosperity.” Armeane M. Choksi World Bank

The New Curriculum Framework of the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education has placed great emphasis on ECD learning and new subject areas were introduced.

In line with that, Priority Projects Publishing has published New Curriculum Framework textbooks for ECD that are innovative, captivating, child-centred and user-friendly.

Our New Curriculum ECD books are designed to create and promote growth in interpretative skills, assist the development of visual, auditory and motor skills of learners.

The enrichment of oral vocabulary is enhanced the use of colourful and detailed pictures. The interest aroused in the picture stories is carried over to the exercise section of each book.

The books also afford learners with opportunities to practise, role play, and research, solve problems, compare issues, carry out practical projects and analyse events.

In addition, we have made sure our ECD books promote critical thinking and undertake educational excursions to stimulate cognitive development of the learners.

Another distinct feature of our collection of ECD books is that they give emphasis on basic skills such as listening, speaking, reading and writing as well as other literacy and numeracy skills.

On the other hand, all cross cutting themes of the new Curriculum framework such as problem-solving, critical thinking, decision-making, conflict resolution, leadership, self management, communication, self management, technology, innovation as well as entrepreneurship have been included in the content.

Our list of New Curriculum ECD textbooks books are as follows:

Best Approach to ICT Pupils Book

Best Approach to ICT Work Book

Best Approach to English ECD “A” Children’s Book

Best Approach to Family and Heritage Studies ECD “A” (Children’s Book and Work Book)

Best Approach to ECD “A” Maths and Science

Learners, parents, teachers, book sellers are also reminded that the Total heritage Studies, a highly stimulating book that empower learners to become responsible, patriotic, skilled and resourceful citizens is available in abundance and orders can be made forthwith given that we are now in our second term of learning.

Together in education, we will appreciate ourselves as individuals, families, communities and as a country.
