As of now, my 4 year old and I specifically will work on the alphabet. She knows how to write her name and a few other small words like mom and dad. She knows her shapes, colors, and recognizes some numbers. She does not know the whole alphabet just yet. We read everyday and just use little experiences in our daily lives to try to recognize numbers and letters or colors on signs. She oddly is great with directions. We live in a kinda small town so we frequent the same places a lot in a week and she knows how to get to most of them. also, she knows her full name, address, my name, my husbands name and her sisters name. We do flash cards and just read a lot.
