![]() ![]() Can you find an "A"? Where is the "T"? etc. During play ask her to find a letter or two at a time (just a letter or two). Look at packaging, placemats, books or toys. * Play games on outings or during meals or activities. Do not drill her or force the issue, just do it and let her model you when she's ready. Casually point to the letters and spell out words. * When you're sitting at the breakfast table, let her look at the cereal box while she enjoys breakfast. (A = applesauce, art M = M & M's for a treat, P = pack a picnic or play at the park, pink socks S = silly songs, Skittles, etc., etc.) Practice it subtly and add a different letter several days later. Color a "B" and hang it on the fridge that day. She can wear a brown shirt or a shirt with a bee on it, blow bubbles or bake brownines. If you really want to make progress, please consider creative, fun, positive learning opportunities as part of every day play. They don't have to know every letter in every word, but you can offer an interest in stories, language and imaginative play that is the foundation of reading and language down the road. Reading (EVERYDAY!) to your children is the greatest gift you can give. If you truly want to help your daughter get ready for school, you need to re-establish fun in learning and make it a part of everyday life within your household. Did you not consider preschool? Why just now are you putting a mad rush on a learning process that can take several years to master? You need to stop IMMEDIATELY and re-evaluate your methods, your goals and your expectations. Also, please be very careful not to punish your daughter for your own procrastination. Lifelong learning is a process that takes time to implement, teach and appreciate. Anyone have any ideas for me?Īre you kidding me?!?!?!?! You can not threaten a child to learn and you can not expect instant results (learn 5 today?!?). I don’t want to send her to Kindergarten if she doesn’t know them, she will already be SO far behind the other kids, and my oldest had that problem and she is still struggling through school. I am at my wits end with her, I don’t know how else to get her to work on them. I tried to explain to her that she has to know these to start school she doesn’t want to go to school any more. Telling her that she wasn’t going to be able to go this weekend to IN unless she learned the first 5. I know that she knows them, but she won’t do them. I tried giving her some candy when she did well, but she only got one piece since she would mess up. I don’t know how to get her to learn them. ![]() ![]() 3 of them are in her name! Well over a span of 5 hours today she still only knows B. I thought that if I sat her down today and let her color the letters and hang them on the wall and point to them she could at least learn the first 5. My problem is that I have been trying to work with my daughter on this since March and she hasn’t wanted much to do with it. They would like them to already know their ABC’s and some other stuff. My daughter will be 5 at the end of the month and is suppose to be starting Kindergarten in September. ![]()
