Customer Rating: 

As a Middle School teacher I hoped to gain new insight on my student's age group, and "Yardsticks" does offer some comforting advice to teachers and parents. (It's not just me, it's their age!) It's a quick and easy read. I would have wished for more pointers and detail, but it offers an accessible overview.

Customer Rating: 

This book provides a useful "snapshot" of child development, year by year. The author's love and understanding of children truly shines through as he discusses the strengths and weaknesses of each age.
The book is concise and easy-to-use, and has become one of the most frequently used books in my professional library.
Teachers and administrators, this is a must have! It is especially helpful for teachers working with a new age group; administrators, "floaters" and substitutes who work with many age groups; and any professional looking for clear, concise information to share with families about the developmental needs of their children.
Parents, too, will enjoy this book. While it focuses on the children in the classroom, the content will ring true at home, as well!

Customer Rating: 

How reassuring to read about the "typical" behaviors for each age between 4 and 14.
