What could be more fun than learning with your favorite Disney friends?
Adventures In Learning is a unique educational workbook series that includes
essential reading and mathematics skills your child needs. Every lesson is present-
ed with the help of the beloved Disney characters. Below are a few suggestions
that will help make this -
learning time with your child both rewarding and fun.
• Choose a time when your child is alert and you are relaxed and ready to help.
• Encourage your child to complete the activities with a variety of writing instru-
ments, such as colorful pencils, crayons, pens, and markers.
• Be certain your child understands the directions. Work together until your child
feels comfortable.
• Let your child take as much time as needed with each activity.
• Praise your child's efforts ... and have fun while you learn together!
On page 32, we have provided a special parent resource guide, "Helping Your Child
at Home." We encourage you to refer to it for additional activities. We wish you and
your child much success on the road to learning with the Disney characters in
Adventures In Learning.

• Context Clues: When you hear a new word on the TV or the radio, ask your child
to guess what it may mean, based on the context in which you heard it.
• Cause and Effect: While watching a video, pause it occasionally and ask, "What
happened?" and "Why did that happen?"
• Drawing Conclusions: When your child misplaces something, prompt him or her
with clues such as "Where did you see it last?" or "Who else might have used it?"
Help him or her draw a conclusion about where the missing item may be now.
• Realism and fantasy: Give your child two signs-one labeled R for realistic and
the other labeled F for fantastic. Next, suggest various realistic or fantastic events
such as "You will ride the bus to school tomorrow" or "We will climb a giant
beanstalk to the clouds tonight." Have him or her hold up the appropriate sign to
describe the event. Then, switch roles.
• Fact and Opinion: Occasionally, pause conversation at dinner and ask your child
if what was just said was a fact or an opinion.
• Classify: Ask your child to help with classifying jobs such as putting away the
silverware in the appropriate parts of the silverware drawer or folding the clean
clothes according to type of clothing.
• Compare and Contrast: On walks with your child, ask him or her to point out
how specific houses, cars, trees, or gardens are alike and how they are different.
• Predict: Pause a video that you both are watching and ask your child to predict
what might happen next. Then, verify the prediction.
• Main Idea and Supporting Details: Supply your child with simple main ideas,
and ask him or her to add supporting details. For example, you might say, "This
movie was funny. Tell me what was funny about it."
