Building Skills
These activities are especially appealing to preschoolers. They help children build and strengthen a variety of basic learning skills. Each page includes simple instructions for use.
Many activities can help strengthen more than one skill. On one day, you could talk about colors. On another day, you could use the same page to count items or discuss what the characters are doing or might do next.
It's likely that your child will find some activities easy and others difficult depending upon his or her level of development in each area. Learn more about the sequence of skills development in the Parent's Guide or Teacher's Guide sections on this site. The guides will help you understand how one skill is built upon another rather than suddenly learned at a particular age or moment.
