Ages & Stages Questionnaires (R) (ASQ-3 (R)): Learning Activities (English)
Description
Encourage progress in the same five developmental areas as ASQ-3 (TM)-communication, gross motor, fine motor, problem solving, and personal-social.
Use safe, age-appropriate materials that most families have at home.
Help even the youngest children develop crucial early language and literacy skills.
Promote closer parent-child interactions.
Serve as a natural follow-up for children who score in the ASQ-3 (TM) monitoring zone.
Now packaged as a book and CD-ROM together so you can photocopy or print them as needed, these creative, cost-effective activities are the perfect way for parents and children to learn and have fun together.
