Parent's Guide: Fun Activities for Early Learning

How to use this worksheet

Start with the blending activity, using flashcards to show individual sounds and asking your child to blend them together into a whole word. Move to the preposition activity, using toys or Lego blocks to demonstrate positions like 'near,' 'far,' 'under,' and 'on top of,' asking your child to place objects according to your instructions. For the math activity, use paper chits or small objects to set up simple counting or basic addition problems appropriate to your child's current level. Rotate between the three activities in short bursts, following your child's interest and energy rather than a strict order.
