![]() Forcing the issue before they are interested/ready may backfire on you and mastery may not only take way longer but you could also create a general dislike for the concept. But you’re going to get your best results if you wait until the child shows interest and readiness. You can introduce the idea and give adequate exposure (hopefully producing interest). Of course, ALL kids learn differently and my best advice to you is something a wise person told me a long time ago- “Reading is a lot like potty training.” Wait, hear me out on this…to paraphrase: Take your child’s lead, sense their interest level and readiness. Now that Q is older she has nightly math fact flashcard practice, and we have some skill-builder books that we use in the summer but in general- I find that my kids learn best by doing, playing, and experiencing. Granted, those tools definitely have their place. I should probably mention that I’m not huge on workbooks or flashcards so you won’t see that kind of stuff on this list- I feel like my kiddos get enough of that stuff at school. I’ve continued using some of these tools at home when I feel my kiddos need a bit of a boost in a certain area. Most of these games and strategies are tools I used in the classroom when I used to teach (pre-k, kinder, 1st and 3rd grades). I get so many question about early education resources, so I figured I’d share my favorite tools in one place.
