Numeracy Cornerstones Level 2: The Francis-Campbell Approach

The Francis-Campbell Approach is a child-friendly, colourful text designed to help your child meet numeracy milestones for the typical four-year-old. It provides each learner with clear instructions, age-appropriate exercises, necessary motor skill-development activities, age-appropriate reasoning tasks and a wide range of other activities to help the learner master each numeracy concept introduced.
 
Learners who have already reached the numeracy readiness milestones for age three will be taken on an exciting numeracy journey to master the numeracy readiness skills for four- year-old learners. This text could serve learners who are older, but are functioning below the expected numeracy developmental level at this time.
