Hi all,
I am a newbie here. DS5 will start K in fall and is very good at languages. He is in preK now and we are not really happy with what they teach in terms of Language and spelling there. They are still doing 3 letter rhyming words like hat, pat, sat etc. while my son is way past it - he can already spell words like "awesome, superheroes, structure" etc and when he tries to spell the more advanced words, the teachers tell him to wait his turn as there are other kids who are trying to learn the 3 letter words still in his classroom (this is understandable, but not to my son's advantage).
Unfortunately, we cannot change his preschool at so late a stage (summer graduation is coming up soon) and have decided to let him stay there until then. In the meantime, I would like to supplement afterschool at home and help him improve his language skills further. What are the options open to me? Workbooks, curriculum, online resources etc? I am a total newbie and started on this quest after coming to the sad conclusion that my DS is utterly bored at preschool and spends his time playing rather than sitting through their "Language Arts" sessions because he "already knows it".
I appreciate any help you can give me.
