Children Abc
What do children learn in preschool besides abc's, shapes,colors, numbers recognition and counting?
My 3 yr old knows his abc's, how to count, shapes, and colors. We are now learning actual letter and number recognition, but I feel as if he should be learning more? What else is there?
Thank You.
He should be able to recognize his first name in writing. He may or may not be ready to start working on writing it.
He should know his full name.
He should know his parents first and last names.
He should learn your phone number and address.
He should learn how to hold a pencil/crayon properly.
He should learn how to hold scissors and how to cut. A lot of kids come into KG unable to use scissors well. I've heard many KG teachers say this is an important skill to work on.
Since he knows how to count already, I'd work on matching objects 1:1. In other words, applying those counting skills. This is the number 1. That is 1 toy car. This is the number 4. That is 4 toy cars.
You can start working on letter sounds if he already knows his letters well and can recognize them consistently. The Leap Frog Letter Factory DVD is GREAT for help with this, as are their talking fridge magnets.
On top of what you've already mentioned, those are all good skills for him to have by the time he starts KG.
