Daily Plan –

1: Start with learning one to two letters a day. Don’t go too fast.
Make sure they know the letters before moving on.

2: Counting and numbers – Start with numbers 1 through 5 and

then add on 5 numbers each week up to 20. Count everything
forks, shoes, cars, cups, people… anything!

3: One Color a week. Point out things you see that color as you
are shopping or playing. Review the colors you have learned each
week. Play color games such as I Spy. Sort things by colors. Use
colorful cups put a color sticker on a cup and small colorful
objects to sort.

4: Practice phone numbers and names each week. Child’s name

and each parent’s names. Practice writing own name.

5: Shapes – Work with one shape a week. Point out the shape
when you see it such as “Look at the square window!”. Trace the
shape. Draw the shape. Paint the shape.

6: Read to them every day. Look at the book and talk about the
parts of the book. Show them the author’s name, illustrators
name, spine, front and back. Talk about how we follow the words.
Ask them if they know what is going on based on the images. Let
them retell the story to you from memory. Point to words and
read them.
