94. Ready to Learn? A look at school readiness in young children (2008)
Lessons in Learning – September 18, 2008
Series: Lessons in Learning
Authors: Canadian Council on Learning (CCL)
Collection: Research Materials
Parents, teachers, and decision-makers all have a stake in ensuring that children are well-prepared when they begin their formal education. However, the authors of this document note that the meaning of the term “ready to learn” is not as clear as it might first appear.
With support from the Canadian Council on Learning (CCL), researchers at Statistics Canada undertook the development of a school-readiness index for Canadian pre-schoolers. Their research pointed to two factors that have a direct effect on school outcomes: social/emotional development, and verbal ability and attitude toward learning.
The authors offer a number of suggestions to help parents and caregivers prepare children for school, including developing children’s verbal abilities through stories, nursery rhymes, and conversation; encouraging curiosity and effort; and serving as positive role models for social and emotional responses.

As well, advanced level students were more internally responsible for their intellectual-academic failures than general level students. Sex differences as they relate to specific expectancies in intellectual achievement situations are also discussed.

97. Sick But Not Scared (1996)
A Children's Health Book to Reduce Their Fears of Illness and Disease , Revised Edition
Authors: Marriott A. Rhodes, Bob Allowski, Tom Dawe, Oliver Deets
Collection: Learning Materials
Recommended for children under the age of 9 and written in words, language and illustrations that they can understand, this book contains brief and concise 'overviews' of numerous afflictions and illnesses.
This is a book for both parents and children to read through to gain insight to many conditions that a child or their friends or family may face during their early years. As children grow, their quest for knowledge increases immensely from the time they learn to walk and talk. Children will eventually ask parents why they get a fever, a cough, a headache; what happens when they go for x-rays, a check-up or to have a broken bone fixed. This book works on the principle that knowledgeable, informed children and parents are the best combination to reducing fears.

99. Speech and language milestone chart (2009)
Fact Sheet
Series: LDAC Fact Sheet
Authors: Learning Disabilities Association of Canada, Learning Disabilities Association of New Brunswick (LDANB)
Collection: Research Materials
For most children, all the skills needed for oral language are acquired naturally by the time they are five years old. The fact sheet/speech and language milestone chart offers insight into where a child should be at a particular age ranging from one to six years. It also offers activities one could use in order to encourage language acquisition and proper speech patterns. These developmental milestones are seen as aids to the development of the child’s brain thus preparing the child for learning to read and write in the future.
