Key Concepts
Learning about air, land and sea travel. The dramatic play area will become an airport, this will be a good learning experience for children who have never flown before.
Two repetitive stories, Yellow Yupple Is On The Go and Paddle, Paddle. These two stories introduce the letters Yy and Pp within their context.
The story Yellow Yupple Is On The Go is about a pretend character called Yellow Yupple who loves to travel. He and his young friends travel in different and funny ways throughout the story.
Paddle, Paddle is about different ways people use oars or paddles to move in the water. This introduces different methods of water transportation. The story offers a great learning opportunity!
Reading - The stories are repetitive enough to allow kindergarten and preschool children to read them on their own after they have been introduced as a shared reading experience. This serves as a powerful method for young children to not only gain a better understanding of the reading process but also gaining a positive attitude towards it by having them experience reading the story on their own (pretend reading) and the pride of completing the book (interactive component).
Dramatic Play - materials to use in the Dramatic Play Center are included.
Alphabet - suggestions, templates and activities to further the develop the recognition and printing of the letters Yy and Pp.
