A linear calendar is an effective early childhood tool that provides a concrete, meaningful way to help children understand and visualize the passage of time without the weekly line breaks used with a traditional calendar format. This continuous, linear calendar aids children’s ability to better understand the passage of time, which is often a difficult concept for young learners. Use this engaging, hands-on resource to introduce time and calendar concepts and vocabulary, keep children informed of upcoming classroom and school wide events, count down and anticipate upcoming holidays and special days, and highlight daily weather. The symbols and picture icons on the cards will help young learners link images with words and aid authentic conversations. Great for PreK and Kindergarten students.
