Presented is a curriculum guide to the readiness level of the child who is hyperactive, a behavior problem, or unable to sustain attention. The following areas are included: language development (including perceptual-motor skills), physical development (following the Frostig Perceptual Program), alphabet and sounds, creative exercises, language arts, math concept skills, mathematics, music, reading readiness, science, social studies, speech and language, and writing. A readiness continuum is outlined. Areas are usually divided into phases with instructional objectives and activities listed. Examples of objectives include developing alternating laterality (for gross motor coordination), comparing sizes (for perceptual constancy), recognizing letters, developing dramatization and pantomime (for language arts), developing the concept of zero (for mathematics), beginning music reading, studying the seasons (science), and printing name (writing).
