Homeschool-teaching 4-year-olds German

by David B

Nov 27, 2022

We taught our kids to read in English using the American book "Teach your child to read in 100 easy lessons" by Siegfried Engelmann/Phyllis Haddox/Elaine Bruner and it was extremely helpful.

Is there an equivalent or at least similar book in German?

Regards,

David

Binoculars project

by dylouis85

Aug 15, 2021

Hello all. I keep my eyes open for cheap arts and crafts ideas (a lot of times I end up having to pay out of pocket, at least temporarily, before the school budget kicks in, if it does). I ran into a new one I hadn't seen -- plain white, disposable binoculars. They sell on amazon, but I didn't see them anywhere else (which is weird to me, I would t...See More

Engaging and educational audio/visual book for preschoolers

by HBWCreations

Jul 16, 2019

As a preschool teacher for 30 years, I have observed the trending fascination with handheld devices by young children. I think that we can all agree that this has not always been a positive option, but occurs regularly regardless of that fact. My desire is to provide positive options that promote literacy and enhance vocab...See More

Advice

by Chloe

Feb 11, 2018

HI. I've just started work in a nursery in the preschool room. The children seem to be running about doing as they please. There are activities but the children aren't really accessing them. Should there be some circle time, adult interaction, direct teaching of some kind?

Nursery makes me think infants (0-2yrs), so if your kids are toddlers, let me know and I'll comment something else. But for kids 2 and younger, circle time is basically adult interaction. It's not usually with all of the kids at the same time because getting a one-year-old to 'listen' is...impossible.They're just not capable of it yet (patience is key.) So circle time can be one with one to maybe four or five kids where the teacher - you - does finger plays, or reads a story, or gives the child a certain toy (usually sensory; sensory bottles are the coolest things...if you get the lid fastened on right lol) and asks specific questions; "Do you like the bright colors, Ashton?" "Jaylee, Do you like how soft it is?" "Does that feel weird, Brandon?" or statements; "Look at it swirl, Kelsie," "Noah, do you see the bunnies in the book? They're hop-hop-hopping." There's not a whole lot of direct teaching (indirect would be things like with the sensory bottles or reading a book where they happen to pick up on things) unless you plan to break out the flashcards- something I personally am strongly against because it's hard to use them in best practice. When you do indirect though, if they ask questions- answer. It may seem stupid, it may be repetitive, you may not even understand (in this case just say something like 'oh yeah?' or 'really?' and they'll say 'yeah' and move on), but it is super important that you acknowledge their question and answer. Everyone wants to be responded to. Even infants. Gathering a small group (or trying to get all the kids involved if you're feeling lucky) could be beneficial if you sing a song, do a dance, read a book, or do a finger play with them. Never expect every kid to be interested. And at that age group, definitely, expect them to lose interest fast. When they do, that's alright. It's called redirection - something that can also be done when they're throwing a fit. Simply direct them towards another activity or toy (especially if another kid takes the one they had) and they're short attention spans take care of the rest. Let me know if that helps?
