An easy-to-use, story-rich preschool curriculum to make learning the ABC fun! Weekly preschool lesson plans, printable preschool worksheets, children’s stories, no-fuss kids crafts, nursery rhymes and more are included.
In researching a mini-thesis on early childhood reading for an honours degree in Linguistics and English language, I learned that children need ‘bottom-up’ (phonetic) skills as well as ‘top-down’ (language and contextual) information to learn to read well.
Now, having homeschooled my five SIX kids for nearly 15 years, I know how important it is for children to enjoy the freedom of childhood, yet not miss out on opportunities to lay the solid foundation that they will need when formal learning begins.
ABC Fun & 1-2-3 combines both of the above in an adult- & child-friendly weekly program that introduces children to the letters and sounds of the alphabet.
Research (and my personal experience) has shown that just like babies learn to walk and talk in their own time, with very little help from their parents, so too, children who are read to and encouraged to explore their world, will want to learn to read and write in their own time, and will also require much less ‘teaching’, if they are not pressured to do so before they are ready.
"There is reason to believe that the thrill the youngster finds in experimenting with the natural things about him at home is soon stifled by the distractions and regimentation of the typical school program." ~ Raymond Moore, Better Late Than Early
If your children have role models (like you), who read and enjoy books and share this joy with them, they will be eager to learn about the letters that make up the printed text in stories.
"Kids need to see their parents reading, and they need to be read to themselves as early as possible. Young school-aged children benefit from responsive reading of stories with their parents. Such literacy-nurturing activities have been shown repeatedly to foster optimal language development." ~ Mel Levine, A Mind at a Time 3. ABC Fun & 1-2-3 provides age-appropriate activities
Research has shown that too much formal learning at a young age can be detrimental to children’s development, but using the using the correct methods you can stimulate interest, awaken a delight for learning and lay a foundation for when children are developmentally ready to start formal studies.
ABC Fun & 1-2-3 was written with the Moore’s advice (left) in mind. It will ignite a love for literature and a love for learning in your children, without the pressure typical of other educational materials.
Reviews of quality stories (not twaddle) that you can read together with your children are included. 4. ABC Fun & 1-2-3 simplifies your life because it
I recently purchased ABC Fun & 1-2-3 from Shirley, which comes with my highest recommendation! I taught for 2 years, and thought that homeschooling meant that everything had to be perfect and that I had to provide everything for my children that they would be getting if they were attending a nursery school and put so much pressure on myself that I spent half my life prepping lessons and programmes that I was too tired to give to my children …completely defeating the entire point of having them at home with me! Anyhow, what I love about Shirley’s programme is that she gives an outline for the week, providing structure, which I need, and the activities are great and most of the stuff you will have in your home, and it is flexible. It also introduces the alphabet in such a gentle and informal way and yet both my children recognise and point out letters wherever we are and are delighted that they can recognise them! I am relaxed, they are enjoying it! And learning!
ABC Fun & 1-2-3 is the culmination of good ideas and teaching tips given to me, Shirley, during the 14+ years that I have been homeschooling. I have incorporated these ideas into a learning system that is easy to follow with little ones in the busy-ness of home educating and home working lifestyles (and can easily be used by preschool teachers too!)
