The Activity Guides for Pre-school Education Launched by Heep Hong Society at The Seminar on Pre-school Education
Heep Hong Society launched The Activity Guides for Pre-school Education and introduced its free applications to over 330 parents and teachers at the Seminar on Pre-school Education held on 29 June 2013.
Since its first publication in 1986, the Developmental Learning Package has been popular with practitioners and parents in Hong Kong, Macao and the Mainland for its practicality. In the light of its surging demand, the Developmetal Learning Package has been duly revised by multi-disciplinary professionals of Heep Hong Society to form The Activity Guides for Pre-school Education, which is composed of a set of six books featuring a full range of activities for training children in six aspects (namely gross motor, fine motor, cognitive, language, self-care, social and emotion) to equip pre-school practitioners and parents with the knowledge and skills for training children with developmental delay problems or special educational needs.
The Activity Guides for Pre-school Education illustrates the theoretical background of different training concepts, and features over 3,300 functional developmental activities in six developmental aspects, namely gross motor, fine motor, cognitive, language, self-care, social and emotion. The activities are designed in age sequence (from birth to 6 years old) for training in everyday life, including individual training activities, home programmes, specific therapies and school programmes, etc. Samples and illustration of different teaching and training materials are also provided.
The Activity Guides for Pre-school Education is applicable to normal children, and, in particular, children with developmental delay and learning difficulties. It serves as a practical guide for training children with different levels of development after conducting assessment with the aid of the Development Assessment Chart and identifying the key learning and training objectives for children with the aid of the Developmental Learning Package – Curriculum Guide.
