Homeschool for a preschooler?

Question

can you get the stuff to home school a preschooler adn how and where can I find it

Answer 1

My sister just used the preschooler books from Walmart. They used to have them for numbers, the alphabet, matching things and such. Inexpensive and they learn what they need to!

Answer 2

Good news! Most of the things you need to homeschool a preschooler you already have around the house. Universal Preschool is a virtual treasure trove of interesting, fun, and educational activities especially geared toward little ones.

If you have an especially active preschooler, you might want to check out "The Active Alphabet." Written with youngsters who are constantly on the move in mind.

So, play dress-up, dance, sing, take a nature hike and really listen to your child. That's the best advise I can give you.

Happy Homeschooling!

Answer 3

I homeschooled both my kids as preschoolers. Didn't use anything special--just the typical crayons, paper, some games, little bears to count with... You don't need a program. Just slowly introduce letters, writing and math, fine motor control activities like cutting and gluing and tracing lines, with lots and lots of fun!

Answer 7

Check out the website www.worldbook.com under "parent resources" and "typical course of study."  They have lists for every grade (including preschool) of the sorts of things that a child should probably be learning.  I found it a great place to start.

I went to discount stores (dollar store, Walmart, Target, etc.) and yard sales and such to buy things like magnetic refrigerator letters and numbers, an inexpensive workbook, paint and brushes, construction paper, safety scissors, crayons, playdough, and so on.

  Though I'd say that a library card was the main thing we used.  Went to story times at the library regularly.  Checked out books and read to them a lot.  Let them pick out books, too.

We planted seeds and took care of them to watch them grow.  Went on lots of walks to look at nature around us (and talked about what we saw).  Went places and talked about the purpose of the places, the jobs of the people we saw, the things around us, words on signs, numbers that we saw, etc.  Did lots of painting, coloring, drawing (or scribbling), cutting and pasting, etc. (which not only are fun and can be used to learn things but also help the child develop the muscles and skills needed to be able to write well).  We played lots of games (board games, outdoor games, indoor games).  We sang songs and watched a bit (little bit) of educational programs (such as "Between the Lions" on PBS, the leapfrog series of videos, "Magic School Bus" (science videos), and others we found at the public library).

Mostly, try to make learning fun at this age.  Keep "lessons" short and help the child to explore the world around....
