Dear Readers,
"Parents and families are the first and most important teachers. If families teach a love of learning, it can make all the difference in the world to our children."
Richard W. Riley U.S. Secretary of Education
A parent who helps their child learn at home is preparing their child to be a more successful learner in and out of school according to educational research. Adult guidance is important at all times but especially important in the early years.
Since learning begins at home there are all sorts of activities the child can do at home to learn reading, writing, math and science.
B4 Literacy believes that if the child is having fun then the child is learning.
Look for posts entitled Home Learning Recipes for skills to use at home for Prekindergarten through 3rd grade students. These activities are designed to help build skills in reading, writing, math and science. This is a great way to use those leftover school supplies that your child brought home during the summer.
These activities were developed by the Home and School Institute.
