Why Growing with Mother Goose and who benefits from this program?
Between the ages of three and five, children undergo dramatic changes
in their intellectual, social and emotional development. They’re
learning about feelings, how to get along with others, and developing
critical thinking and physical skills for everyday life. Reading and talking
about good books can help children grow in all of these areas.
Growing with Mother Goose helps promotes healthy cognitive and emotional
development in children ages three to five. Parents and other caregivers
will gain skills and strategies for reading and talking with children. And
the community benefits when children are better prepared for school.
Do Mother Goose Programs really make a difference?
Mother Goose Programs fosters the interest and involvement of children in listening to and discussing a variety of picture, fiction and non-fiction books. There are multiple activities to help children develop a growing interest in reading-related activities based on stories, and promoting the engagement of pretend-reading with other children. Researcher have found that the program supported conversation in the home, encouraged book reading and program and science activities. Children will also have a better understanding of the science process skills and will have performed science activities that will help them have a better understanding of the world around them. Evaluation documenting the positive impact of Mother Goose Programs has been conducted by RMC Research Corp. (Denver, CO) and Learning Innovations at WestEd (Stoneham, MA).
Are the programs research-based?
Researchers have found that complex conversations, thought-provoking questions,
activities, and reflection all lead to strong language and literacy skills.
Research has also shown that children are more successful when exposed to
cognitively challenging experiences and that children benefit from having
conversations with adults in the home and from having picture books read
to them regularly. Mother Goose Programs meet these needs and are based
on the latest research concerning the cognitive development of children
and best practice.
