Learning Tools and Books Preschoolers

When schools shut down in March Reegan was newly 4 and Julia wasn’t 2 yet. I didn’t log on to one single zoom call. We (I) decided to play by no schedule and instead have about 123 pajama days in a row. Well, it’s July now and Mama needs a schedule and Reegan really wants some structure and stimulation.

I have spent the last few days deep diving mom blogs, educational sites, and homeschool resources to figure out a tiny bit a day I can do with her for these unprecedented times. Something that will be easy enough to dive neither of us crazy, but add a little bit of structure.

Because I have loved others lists so much, and been tailor fitting it for us. I’m compiling all the things I have found here.

Preschool Learning Tools and Books

Reading & Audio Books:

For PreK, the one thing I have come across, is moving toward longer books as a way to stretch her memory, comprehension, and “language arts” skills. I have also come across some studies showing listening to an audio book for 20 minutes a day increases a child’s reading skills by over 50% a year. That’s absolutely incredible.

I have Audible so I downloaded a few finds under $1-2 (Yes. You read that correctly.) and downloaded the Libby app for free audios.

Given that it’s only for 20 minutes – I don’t need to start with 100 books downloaded. 3 will do for now.

For bedtime, I ordered 2 books that are lengthier. We will do 10 minutes at night and maybe a short book as well if she likes.

Our house currently does 3 short books each night at bed time. I’m just stretching it little by little.

WorkBooks:

Reegan will crush these books 10 pages at a time. But I am bad at offering them. She asked me today if I can set her pages out in the morning for her to work on after breakfast. I was like “oh.ok yeah sure no problem” Glad someone can run this show.

From what basically everyone has told me, 15 minutes of these pages is probably plenty for her age.

 


 HomeSchool Units:

I have no down these but my dear friend is a wonderful home school mama and she has sent me links over the years when I have been curious. Many of these are Christian based in case that is or is not your thing. If you know of a homeschool resource that is not faith based, please send it my way.


 (Mommy) Websites:

These mamas and educators are heaven sent. I love following them all on Instagram and their sites are full of resources that they themselves put into action.
