Believe it or not, there are standard achievements required by Kindergartners, and Kindergarten reading is only one of them. It seems as though preschool has become the new Kindergarten. Many years ago, many children got their first school experience the first day of Kindergarten. Kindergarten was only a few hours long and included a snack time and nap time. Any more, if your child does not have some kind of preschooling prior to Kindergarten they are going to be at the lower end of the class and because of that may struggle to keep up with just the basic skills. That is not to say that you need to pay big money to have your child attend a high priced preschool, you may be able to teach them preschool basics like their ABC’s, writing their name, simple reading, simple math, how to use scissors, etc… At educationbug.org we have an entire section dedicated to articles about preparing your child for school, these are specifically designed for ages 1-5. These articles contain fun and exciting ways to teach your children basic skills prior to them starting school.
After checking out the preschool articles, take a look at our grammar lesson section which has articles like antonyms which gives you great examples of some opposite types of words. Or on the opposite spectrum you could review the synonyms article which are words that have a similar meaning.
