Learning words is the basis of teaching both written and spoken communication. You can teach your preschooler words with a variety of tools, encompassing the range of pre-K products. Electronic games and learning pads will allow children to press buttons to hear words and letters, and allow them to speak back the letters into the game. Words can also be learned from computer programs that allow the children to click on words, stuffed animals that speak to them or videos that will let them learn along with words and sentences.
Like words, numbers are an essential building block for the future math and science projects that your preschoolers will encounter. You can teach numbers to your pre-K child in the same way as words. This can be done with computer programs that allow you to click on different numbers and hear their names. It can also be done with toys that allow the student to add and subtract small and fun items to come up with their own simple equations.
Making and learning shapes allows a child to develop knowledge of what things are made of and how they work. Shape toys can be among the most hands-on, and different building blocks tools can be used to allow your pre-K child to create their own structures. This can also be done on the computer with simple programs that allow preschoolers to interactively build their own digital shapes.
Drawing and writing allows a preschooler to relate to the shapes that they are learning and put them together in different spatial relationships. Drawing and writing can be done on simple paper or pads, but they can also be done with computer programs that let children match shapes and lines, or video programs that show off the different names of shapes. TV programs include shows like "Sesame Street."
