You have already discovered how much and how fast ‘a young child can lea when provided with the experiences that promote a child's natural curiosity. It is miraculous to look back on your child's fist years and see how many skills have already been acquired. On the Road through Preschool is very different from the other books in this series. This book has been written for parents whose children have not yet been to kindergarten. Whether your child has had the experience of preschool or not, kindergarten is a big change. It is one of those monumental milestones in your child's life (and yours!). Your soon-to-be kindergartner is rapidly learning at his own pace. As you look at the activities in this book, please keep in mind that all children mature ond develop readi- ness skils at different rates. Some five-year-olds love pencil and paper tasks and are ‘able to use scissors, while other five-year-olds would rather build with blocks and put together puzzles. Both types of children are normal, and both will discover their own learning styles in time. This book includes many pencil and paper tasks. If your child seems ready for them, that’s wonderful. But if your child is not ready, the majority of these activities can be ‘accomplished without writing on the page. For example, on a page where the child is to circle two objects that are the “same,” the child can simply point to the objects that are alike. Be creative as a parent and adjust each task to meet the needs of your child. This is a “togetnemess” book. Every activity is meant for parents and children to work on together. Preschoolers need your guidance, your support, and your participation— after all, you are your child's first teacher! In addition to game and activity pages. you will also find pull-out mini-books, recommended book lists, Web sites, awards, stickers, and special activities called “My Parents and Me.” “My Parents and Me" pages pro- vide you and your child with meaningful leaming experiences that cannot be accomplished on a piece of paper. Asa parent, there is nothing better you can do to ensure your child's educational suc- cess than to spend time together. Not only will you help increase your child’s skills. but you will also create many hoppy memories. Everyday Ways to Enrich Your Child’s Learning Experiences As the parent of a young child, you are eager for your little one to leam and to achieve some of the skills she will need in order to succeed in school. The best way, for you tohelp your child is to create a living and learning environment in which your Child will want to explore, learn new concepts, and practice new skills. You can create this environment by providing your child with hands-on “play” ‘experiences that are well thought-out. Young children leam best through “play with © purpose.” Although some preschool children enjoy the traditional paper and pencil tasks, the majority of children at this age will experience more success When provided with hands-on, manipulative matericis that encourage exploration, question-asking, and problem-solving. AS a parent, you guide the learning experience when you play with your child. This helps your child learn to listen, stay on task, and make new observations. Ask open- ended questions to steer your child into drawing new conclusions, developing new vocabulary, and learning new ways to accomplish tasks. For example. when your child is building with blocks, ask, “What do you think would happen if . . . 2” of, “Is there another way we could build this tower?” The following are some ideas for activities and materials that will enhance the leaming experiences that you can provide for your child. Language Arts The single most important skill that a child needs for success in school, and later in life, is to be “literate.” In other words, your child must learn how to read. You can do many things to encourage literacy. 1. Read to your child every day. Read to your child every day for at least 15 minutes. This often becomes a favorite time of the day for the child and parent. Talk about the pictures. Ask questions. Ask your child to guess what is going to happen next. Encourage your child to retell favorite stories or favorite parts of a story. Have your child make up a new ending for a story. Go to the library and let your child choose new books. Encourage “pretend” reading. This is when children look at the pictures and make up what they think the words say. i 2. Encourage letter recognition. Preschoolers can begin developing an interest in reading and phonics by making observations of how we use waitfen language. Point out letters in the environment, such os on cereal boxes, in your child's name, and on billboards. Find ways to help your child learn to match letters. Play listening games. Have your child identify words that begin with the some sound, 3. Provide language arts materials. Fill your child's environment with literacy materials. Here is a suggested selection: Magnetic letters Books, magazines, newspapers, and catalogs. Paper, pencils, crayons, and paints (Encourage children to experiment with making circles, squiggles, and lines.) CDs of children's music and recorded children's stories Math & Science So many toys and puzzles provide young children with early math and science learning experiences. Remember to point out all the ways we use numbers and science in our daily lives. 1. Cook or garden together. Not only is this a special activity for families to do together, but the learning experiences themselves are infinite. Children.con gain these valuable skills: , * Measuring * Numbers and counting ("Stir 10 times” or “Add 1 cup water") * Increased vocabulary development (hot, cold, wel, dry. sticky, and so on) * Increased observation skills 2. Provide math and science materials and activities. Here is a suggested list: Magnifying glass Blocks and other building materials Magnets and magnetic numerals Scales (concepts of heavier and lighter) Pouring liquids Sink and float objects for the bath or for sink water play Calculators and toy cash registers Puzzles Sorting, matching. and classifying games Trips to science and children's museums Taking walks and observing nature Fun Web Sites for Preschoolers tip://pbskids.org/ Site offers games and activities based on favorite PBS chorocters.
