Homeschooling Your Kindergartener Using A Year of Playing Skillfully

Play Skillfully

Today on the Play Skillfully podcast, Kathy and Lesli discuss how to use their award-winning curriculum, A Year of Playing Skillfully for the kindergarten year.

Main Idea: Look for progress...not perfection!

Developmental Information:

If you question what you are asking of your child, use the website naeyc.org as a resource. The National Association for Young Children has excellent books and articles that will help you on this journey.

Look for ways to teach in a very concrete manner with everyday objects! Workbooks are very abstract and make it harder developmentally to grasp concepts. Move to labeling everyday objects in your home so that your child is learning in a very concrete way.

LIVE LIFE WITH YOUR KIDS! Invite them into your life and talk through your daily activities..you do kindergarten skills ALL DAY LONG.
