Good habits at four are taught through repetition and pictures rather than lectures, and an activity format gives a child something to do with the idea instead of only hearing it.
Aimed at children of four to six years, this title sits in the middle of the graded Manoj Publications series and carries 64 paperback pages. Habit topics for this age normally cover the ordinary business of a day, from tidying up and washing hands to greeting people and taking turns, and presenting them as tasks lets a child mark an answer rather than nod along. Ten minutes after school or before bed is usually enough, and the book is light enough for a child to fetch without help.
What makes it useful:
• Second step in a three-level series, following the 3+ books
• Reading age marked at four to six years
• 64 pages in a light paperback a child can carry
• Everyday behaviour topics presented as activities rather than rules
Suited to parents of preschoolers and to playgroup teachers, published by Manoj Publications and available at Boipoka.
