Our education begins from the day we're born. While we don't immediately plunge into school, we're constantly exposed to new things that help develop our minds. Academics are only part of our long journey to knowledge.
By the time we enter kindergarten, we are ready to begin the reading and writing aspects, but at a slow and steady pace. Too much too soon can overwhelm and confuse us. When we hit 1st grade, we are more prepared to tackle the nitty gritty. I recall my 1st grade spelling, reading and mathematics, and how they introduced me to a whole new world.
When my daughter was born, I certainly wasn't thinking about school yet. The formula and diapers kept me pretty preoccupied. Now that she's seven years old, and in the first grade, academics are a major concern. One thing I noticed right away is that 1st grade spelling and mathematics are slightly different than they used to be. Now this is a good thing.
Schools are constantly pushing our children to learn more at a younger age. The first time my daughter brought home her reading and writing homework, I was amazed at how much she would surely learn the very first year. The little books are a great start to reading well.
In comparison to when I was in 1st grade, 1st grade spelling has hit a new level. I don't recall dealing with so many words. My daughter is already at a level where she can read the majority of things we see when we go out in public. This is great! Kids now days can even get help with their 1st grade spelling on the Internet.
This is a wonderful tool for kids to grow up with these days. They can certainly take advantage of the various websites that have spelling games and lessons. There are a number of different kinds of software out there for this as well. One thing I love to do is read and write with my daughter on a daily basis in order to help her with her 1st grade spelling, writing and reading. This is always a great idea for any parent. When we work with our children, we really increase their learning abilities and initiative.
If you have a child, you can take advantage of online resources in order to better their academic skills. It is never too early to start teaching our children. Hop online today and see what's available, and only a mouse click away.

LinkedIn Recommendation:
 Carl Madden - Search Engine Marketing Consultant at Osato Tree - There are many times I have been stuck on something, but now I that I am working with Teo Graca, I know I can get unstuck quickly. He has a way of getting at the meat of the solution to any problem when it comes to business planning. I really don't know anyone with such a well rounded skill set. I think that is what makes it possible for him to do what he does. I highly recommend Teo and Net-Teams! - March 15, 2012, Carl was Teo's client |
