About the Book

Discover a groundbreaking approach to early education that could transform the future of learning. In Revisiting Foundational Skills in Early Education, August Mariner confronts a pressing crisis: the persistent decline in U.S. education, with PISA math rankings plummeting from 18th to 25th since 2000 and NAEP scores stagnating despite increased funding. Why are students falling behind? Mariner argues that it's not just a matter of curricula, but also a lack of alignment with how children's brains develop. This compelling essay unveils a revolutionary curriculum rooted in neuroscience, developmental psychology, and philosophy. It proposes a clear, evidence-based plan: prioritize memorization in preschool through grade 3 to build fluency in math and reading, then introduce logical reasoning in grade 4 when higher cognitive thought emerges around age 9. Drawing on thinkers such as Piaget, Vygotsky, and Aristotle, and supported by Jaak Panksepp's research on engagement, this approach ensures that students master foundational skills-such as alphabet recognition and arithmetic facts-before tackling complex reasoning, thereby addressing gaps that can lead to struggles in college and beyond. Mariner's vision goes beyond curriculum design, advocating for a high-consciousness culture that fosters curiosity, emotional engagement, and ethical commitment. With vivid classroom insights and rigorous research, the book reveals how to create classrooms where students thrive, not just comply. From multisensory phonics games to Socratic questioning, the practical strategies are accessible to educators, parents, and policymakers alike. Why read this book? Understand the crisis: Learn why U.S. students lag globally and how misaligned curricula exacerbate skill gaps. Discover a solution: Explore a developmentally aligned curriculum that fosters fluency and critical thinking, grounded in science. Join a movement: Embrace a vision for education that prioritizes curiosity and excellence, inspired by Dietrich Bonhoeffer's call for critical reflection. Perfect for educators seeking innovative methods, parents wanting to support their children's learning, and policymakers aiming to reverse educational decline, this book is a clarion call to reimagine early education. With a blend of passion, evidence, and actionable insights, Mariner offers a roadmap to empower the next generation for a knowledge-driven future. Take the first step toward transforming education. Add Revisiting Foundational Skills in Early Education to your cart and discover how to unlock every child's potential. From Velvet Page Books, this is more than a book-it's a blueprint for lasting academic success.
