Curriculum: Difficult to spell, easy to follow at The Itty-Bitty Bookworm, “curriculum” is just a fancy-pants word for roadmap. They think childhood is a journey, and most kids just need a little guidance now and then to really come into their own. With their curriculum you can expect to see your child(ren):
Develop a love of books
Expand her creativity
Excited about learning
Self-confident
Experiment and play
Prepared for Kindergarten

Self-confident

Prepared for Kindergarten
The Brains Behind the Bookworm are former early childhood educators, who understand the importance of a curriculum based on reliable research. Therefore, while designing and writing their curriculum they kept the following aspects at the front of their minds:
Children who are read to have an advantage in school.
Children who learn to read early tend to be those who have books and have been taught to value them.
Shared reading, offering children a variety of print materials, and positive attitudes toward literacy promote early literacy skills.
Books activate prior knowledge making learning new information easier.

Because research shows us time and time again just how important books and reading are to children, they have based their curriculum on popular children's books. Each week of curriculum will focus on a different storybook. The activities will coordinate with the themes of each book, as well.

The letter activity sheets would be really helpful for my little one. We've been working a lot on numbers and letters at home, but it would be great to have something that could provide more ideas. Thanks for the giveaway!
letter activity
I've been wanting to start something like this at home. My 3 year old would benefit most from the number sheets right now. He can count pretty well, but I need to work on number recognition. Thanks for the giveaway! :) krispiks@aol.com
the letter activity sheets would be great for our four year old
letter clip art would be useful because my 3 year old is having problems recognizing letters

Those lesson plans look great! It's always hard for me to think up what I should teach my son, so we end up doing the same ol' thing every day.
the activity sheets are a great idea
This is such an awesome resource! I've been wanting something just like this, so you could imagine how excited I was to find this! I think the large, letter outlines for collages/mosaics would be great to be able to help my children learn to recognize the letters better.

This would be nice for my nephew. His mom just had a baby so it would be nice for him to have something to help him along especially with mom so busy. The detail of this program is very very nice. Easy to learn for youngsters eager minds.
I like the List of monthly objectives that correlate with the Head Start Indicators feature. Great giveaway, thanks!
Oooh, I'd love to win this for my 2 year old. It looks like a great program. I think I'd enjoy it all, but especially the Letter activity sheets/mini-books.

Learning Center Ideas for each week would be great because I am not always creative, just sometimes
Wow, this looks great! I really like the fact that it pulls together ideas for arts & crafts, active play, and science together with the literature theme.
The Learning Center Ideas for each week are very helpful.
the Full Color Games sound like they would be fun for learning :)
I think the lesson plans would be the most helpful.
I think she would most benefit from the Readers/booklets that coordinate with the books-of-the-month because she loves to read. kristie2 (at) comcast.net
I love all the different cards- the letter cards, the number cards, the color cards. I think that would be wonderful for my daughter to learn these. Thanks for the giveaway!
I have your button on my blog! http:/ssweetnsassygirls.blogspot.com
I think this looks like a great cd! I looked at the 18 month one...I used to teach preschool, but it's nice to have some fresh ideas for my kids, and if I start teaching preschool at my house next fall.
The monthly objectives would be a big help for me! Thanks for the contest!

The letter activity sheets would be really helpful.
Definitely the letter activity sheets.. my kids are currently learning them and would really benefit :)
activity sheets and number sheets 4 my grandson!
I think the learning centers and the nursery rhymes/poems that coorespond to the monthly activities would be a huge help. I usually rely on other's ideas for the morre hands on activities that really firm up concepts to for my kiddies. And I'm really not poetic, so anything in the realm helps me:)
I love the letter clip art!
The learning center ideas would be very helpful. I'm thinking of starting to work parttime rather than fulltime so I can be at home more with my daughter. I'd love to have resources like these to prepare her for school. Thanks!
