Young learners often confuse numerals with letters. Teaching numeric concepts before teaching the numeric symbol helps. Teaching your child to count and identify numbers builds their number sense and gives them the background they’ll need to move on to more complex math skills like addition and subtraction.
Learning Letters
We teach the alphabet because letters build words, which build sentences, which build stories, which build the world we live in. We learn to speak and read and write in order to communicate our ideas and unique perspectives.
Learning Shapes
As with colors, teaching shapes is one of the earlier units taught in the classroom. Children usually master basic shapes pretty quickly because they can relate them to many everyday items they use.
Learning Colors
There’s a reason primary education puts a lot of focus on teaching colors. The world is a colorful place. Tap into your child’s sense of sight. Teach your child colors so they have words to describe their world to you.
