How to Help Children Become Geographically Literate
Dear Family:
This pamphlet suggests ways in which families and caregivers may work with children to help them learn about the world in which we all live.
Some of the suggestions in this pamphlet may seem more suited to your needs than
others. We suggest that you select those that have the greatest appeal for
the children with whom you are working. Children develop map reading and spatial
skills at different rates. Some do this early and almost by instinct, while
others develop these abilities later and need help from those around them in
order to do so. With your help and a little patience, your child can acquire
a basic knowledge of geography.
The members of the National Council for Geographic Education welcome your involvement in furthering your children's geographic education. We hope you and your children will enjoy learning about geography, both at home and at school as you follow the suggestions contained in this pamphlet.
Sincerely,
Michal LeVasseur, Executive Director
