Before School Learning

Once a child enters elementary school, he or she learns to read, write, add, and more.  However, before your child enters school, what sort of skills should you have started teaching at home?

Advice will vary from expert to expert, but in general children should have been exposed to all areas of learning.  That doesn’t mean mastery is expected, but that they are familiar with letters, numbers, and more.  One way to expose your child to learning is to introduce him or her to the skill of writing.
