Getting Started #Homeschooling.

From ballpark 2 years old:

1. ABC puzzle board.

2. ABC song.

3. Meet the Phonics video.

Your child will want to watch the video after they've seen it. They'll ask every morning to watch it. Tell them after the puzzle board. As they choose letters, ask them "B as in...?" to get them to aseociate the letters to common words, like Boy and Button.

Then sing the song with them and finally watch Meet the Phonics together. The video uses lower case letters, so as each letter comes up, have them find the big letter to associate it to the little letter. They'll learn to find and hold the letter every time it comes up.

Do this first thing in the morning. Once they've got the routine down you'll be able to get them started at the table while doing breakfast etc. Interact with them from across the room. This will show them they can do learning work by themselves.

You now have morning school block instituted that you can iterate on, adding numbers, counting, chalk writing for letters, and early phonics.

Now obtain a dedicated school tablet in order for them to use mentava.com, or continue with manual learning.

Either way, getting this practice in place is the hardest part. Dad should get it going if Mom has never been exposed to self learning, then she can take over with time.
