I Wonder Why Book Series From KidSpecialty

Perhaps the most commonly question uttered by children when they learn how to ask is not when, how, what, where or who, but why.

“Why do caterpillars eat so much?” “Why do stars twinkle?” “Why do Camels have humps?” “Why do mountains have snow on top?” “Why does the wind blow?” “Why does my tummy rumble?” “Why do Kangaroos have pouches?” “Why do spiders spin webs?”

I wonder Why Series By Kingfisher

I Wonder Why series by Kingfisher aims to answer some of the frequently asked questions by children. With topics ranging from Science, Biography, Geography to History, this series is a brilliant way to keep your little ones’ mind buzzing with curiosity. Suitable for kids 4 to 8 years old, each book is packed with informative facts, interesting trivia and quirky illustrations which will not fail to amaze, amuse, and whet your child’s appetite for knowledge!

I wonder Why Book Series is available at KidSpecialty at $5.50 for each book.

Special Needs Education: An Introduction To Integration And Inclusion

What do you know about Special Needs Education in Singapore?

When we talk about Special Needs Education, these two terms will often be heard: ‘integration’ and ‘inclusion’. So what exactly is integration and inclusion?

Integration represents the physical presence of a person with special needs (or commonly known as disability) in a mainstream educational setting. While children with special needs may share a certain degree of common purpose and activity with their same-age peers, special education and aid is provided for them in a separate setting within the school.

Inclusion, on the other hand, is the participation of a person with special needs alongside with their non-disabled peers in all aspects of school life (academic, extra-curricular and non-academic activities). This means they are full-time active members of the mainstream educational setting and necessary supports are provided for them to participate meaningfully within their classrooms.

integration-vs-inclusion

Singapore - Integration or Inclusion?

With these in mind, you might ask: “What about Singapore? Are our local schools integrative or inclusive?” First and foremost, let us take a look at the Primary Schools.

At the lower primary level, the ‘Learning Support Program’ (LSP) provides support for those who face difficulties with Literacy and Mathematics. During the curriculum time, these identified students proceed to a separate setting in the school, where the LSP teacher will provide them with specialised educational support. Hence, this reflects integration. handicap-ramp-sign-by-andrewatla

However, with the increased awareness of a need to become an inclusive society, in the year 2004, the Ministry of Education (MOE) has initiated the deployment of Allied Educators, educators who are trained in special needs, in all Primary Schools to provide in-class support for children with mild special needs.

In the preschool setting, while I have observed that there are a handful of preschools and kindergartens that are striving to become inclusive, most of our local Child Care Centres and Kindergartens still lack the knowledge, resources and support to provide effective early intervention.

This could be due to the lack therapists who can provide on-site services such as physiotherapy and speech therapy. Fortunately, these challenges can be gradually overcome by training early childhood educators to create curriculum that can be adapted to each child’s individual learning needs and abilities. Furthermore, trained educators in special education can also be placed in the schools.

Ideally, as early childhood educators, we believe and advocate strongly for an inclusive setting, where no child gets left behind. At the present moment, baby steps are slowly taken to shift our educational system towards one that is inclusive. Even though it is lofty and difficult as it requires the support of not just professionals in the early education field, and especially from parents who are one of the stakeholders in the education system, inclusion is not impossible.

Give it a thought.
