The book Yardsticks is a great reference for teachers to use as a guide for developing curriculum. The sections are easy to follow and have in- depth but quick facts about child development at different ages and grade levels. Throughout this book I have come across many applications that I will use in my future classroom. 

I thought it was really helpful that the book was designed as a go-to guide for teachers. I agree that children need different attention in certain areas based on their age and what they are experiencing developmentally. Each age has specific domains that need to be reached through curriculum, and this book gives great insight to these domains. 

Along with the developmental domains are the strengths and interests of specific children, and that too should be taken into account. Children's education cannot be structured in a way that accommodates to only one type of learning. Each child is unique and needs a tailored instruction based on many facets, I found this book to be interesting and useful when incorporating this idea in my classroom.
