If you think about it, the pace at which young kids learn is simply amazing. Sometimes pre-schoolers as young as 4 years of age are learning to read and write. This is a BIG thing for little minds and can sometimes be a bit overwhelming, especially when their talents make us as parents expect too much of them. The trick is to keep it fun and simple.
Educate pre-schoolers by sticking to games and activities that allow them to learn through play, this way they can learn while having fun, without feeling the tedious task that often comes with acquiring new skills and achievements. Our kids have plenty of formal educational years ahead of them, let them be kids for as long as you can.
This does not mean however that you should not introduce them to new things like learning how to read and write at an early age. Just make sure you do it in a way that they can understand, get down to their level, that is.
For instance, when it comes to learning the Alphabet, fifty-two letter shapes are a lot for little minds to keep track of. Recently I stumbled upon this sweet little way of helping children to remember some letters, as well as how to write them. Now, I do realise that it is important for youngsters to start learning the diminutive form of letters first, but you can adapt the below and create your own explanations for letters not mentioned.

There are an endless number of creative and fun ideas on the internet that can be used to teach your youngsters how to read, write and even do mathematics – so, use them! While it might seem like the kids are not grasping the intent of the lesson at first, after a few rounds of practice and repeat, they will get the gist of it and might even surprise you with what they learnt days later.
The point is, little kids, even toddlers, are capable of learning to count, say their ABC’s and even read and write, but these are not skills that we should be forcing upon them, instead, guide them towards the process, bit by bit, until they do reach school-going age, where their teachers will give them more formal explanations on the subjects. If our kids are well-equipped and have a sound foundation of the concepts, the will be pro readers, writers and maths geniuses in no time!
