colors

ABC's

Numbers to 100

Answer 3

A good preschool program will take a child from where he is at and also provide a guideline for what you or your parents can do at home to help reinforce the concepts that are being taught in preschool.

Preschool's main benefit is social but the following are some literacy/mathematics concepts they should be working on.

Literacy: rhyming, letter sounds, letter recogntion, syllables, writing name, concepts of print (understanding how books "work"), comprehension, introducing different types of print, fine motor skills, and one of their main goals should be helping a child "love" and motivate reading, writing, and listening, etc

Mathematics: shapes, colors, copy/create/extend patterns, numeral recognition, numeral order, counting with meaning, 1:1 correspondence, beginning addition/subtraction (informal...manipulatives...NOT WORKSHEETS), etc

Answer 4

the alphabet... basic words... shapes colours all the basics really would put him ahead

Answer 5

He needs to know that school is a good place to be. He will  have friends at school and teachers who will help him to learn. He needs to know that he is loved and that you will be there at the end of the day. Let him know that he has good thoughts and you have faith that he will be a good student. Children who are socially and emotionally secure will learn whatever it is the teachers offer to him.

Answer 6

He doesn't *have* to know anything, however, I would go ahead and start on the basics such as colors, shapes, singing ABC's, counting to ten.  If he has that down, I'd start on letter and number recognition and sounds letters make as well as writing.

Answer 7

Well, is that his first time going to school? Has he ever been to one? What does he know so far??

Answer 8

his name.
