Math

I'm Lily, again. And now I'm going to teach your child how to do plusses and counting.

First step is to teach your child how to count to ten. The second step is to ask your child what
1 + 1 is.

And then get a piece of paper and do 1 + 1 and 2 + 2 and other easy plusses on the piece of paper.

Writing

Hello. Again. I am Lily. Again. Now, I'm going to teach you how to have your children write.

First step will be to start with your child writing their name.

The second step will be to have your child write some words. P.S.: "at" words (like cat or bat) in uppercase.

And now let's work on the first step.

Now get a piece of paper and have your child write their name. Now let's work on step two.

Turn the paper over and have your child do all the "at" words you can think of.

That's it.

Four steps

Hello. I'm Lily. And I will teach you how to help your children learn how to read. The first step is to find a good reading dot com. And here's a good start: why don't you try Starfall.com?

The second step is to find some good games and all kinds of good stuff. The third step is to find some way to trick your child into going to that dot com. And the fourth step is to help your child find a good book of reading selections. Like Bob books (from Scholastic). http://shop.scholastic.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?productId=17507&langId=-1&storeId=10001&catalogId=10004

Now let's work on that first step. Now let's try to find a goooood reading dot com. Hmm. I have an idea! Try Starfall!

Now let's move on to the second step. Now on the website, you should try to find some pretty easy games if your child is in preschool. And then when he moves on to kindergarden, you're going to want to find a little bit harder games. And finally, when they're in first grade or second grade, find a new reading dot com.

Now let's find some good games on Starfall. Like maybe start your child off on level 2, where they can watch little movies that help them learn how to read. Like:
