Higher Level Skills
These activities offer a playful mix of practical learning experiences for children from roughly 4 through 8 years of age. You, as parent or teacher, can adapt the activities to meet the skills and interests of your child. There is no fixed set of exercises, no tedious levels to plod through, nothing to buy. There are lots of opportunities for you to lead and share in the fun of your child's skills development.
Learning should be engaging and fun. It's exciting to make discoveries and master skills at any age. While this site won't cover everything a child needs to learn, it will demonstrate ways for you to use what's in your child's environment to build cognitive, language, physical, social and emotional skills, making it easier for him or her to succeed in school.
Learn more about the sequence of skills development in the Parent's and Teacher's Guides on this site.
