Preschool education the seed that makes a Childs learning grow endlessly!!!!



The child that begins their education with literacy is on the right road to language development and pre-readiness skills. By reading to your child every night you can help your child develop language at home and school. Reading to your child every night will help them develop new words daily. You can also make simple sight word cards for your child. They will be able to go through leveled reading easier at school. You can download many sight words online. You can take your child to the closest library one a week and have them look at books according to their age, grade level, reading level. 

Math Ideas!!!


Math ideas that I usually begin with is having them learn to count 1-5 first and learning about each number first. With the number one you have them trace it with a yellow highlighter and paste one dot on the picture and so on with the rest of the numbers. I enjoy using lots of flashcards with them as well. Also, practicing to use matching number concepts with them. This great website called childcareland.com has excellent number matching pictures you can cut out and laminate. Children love and enjoy this easy number matching task. You can buy number blocks and number puzzles they love playing with puzzles too.
