Each young student has something to enjoy, outside of the normal academic curriculum, such as video games, sports or comic books. By incorporating these interests into a preschool curriculum, you can inspire students to want to take part in your home preschool program. For instance, if your son loves watching football, develop a curriculum built around football. Use sports statistics to teach him to identify numbers and associate them with the things they represent, such as yards or touchdowns. Encourage him to read the names on the backs of player’s jerseys, teaching him the sounds of each letter. Read interviews about his favorite player to him, and encourage him to read to you as his reading develops.
Online preschool learning programs develop children’s academic needs, while presenting information in visual, auditory and kinesthetic ways to reach children’s unique learning needs. Select learning programs that use games and visual information to teach preschool fundamentals. In addition to helping with basic learning needs, this technique also helps students learn to use technology through the process of turning on the computer, accessing applications, and working with these applications to accomplish simple tasks.
Preschool students benefit from social preparation, preparing them to transition into the social environment of a formalized elementary school. This includes personal grooming techniques, such as brushing teeth, using the restroom alone, and washing hands. Incorporating these lessons into a home preschool curriculum protects children from unnecessary embarrassment once the child is in school. Additionally, incorporate field trips into your preschool curriculum by taking your young student with you to the store, encouraging her to meet new people and interact with employees as you check out.
By incorporating your child’s favorite sport in your preschool curriculum, you can provide the necessary physical education the child needs. Ask your child for his favorite sport, and look for ways you can challenge the child to enjoy the sport, such as playing catch with a football outside, setting up a makeshift soccer goal in the backyard, or taking the child to the park for a nature walk. These activities help children develop physically, while teaching them to move safely as their bodies grow and develop.
