Fifty-Two Months of Preschooler Frances




Fifty-Two Months Fun Facts
  • Reading:  Frances is just starting to pay attention to the first letter of a word and using that letter to figure out what a word could be.  Her brain is really working on puzzling this stuff out.  I'm so proud of her.  And she has become interested in the Magic Treehouse Series and can read "Jack," one of the main characters.
  • Writing:  Frances can write "Frances"!  She needs some visual cues and her "n"s are rotated 90 degrees, but she's getting it.  I think there's still a bit of a disconnect between what she sees and what she can make her hand do, just as there's a disconnect for me between hearing a word in a foreign language and speaking that word, but she's getting it.
  • Arithmetic: Not so much.  But I'm sure it will come, too.  I suppose I could start playing "fun" math games with her.  I'd rather go searching for unicorns, as long as we're making stuff up.
