I googled your question and came up with the following (in quotes) on the site listed below in Sources.\n\n"This flexibility also has a drawback: the difficulty of classifying words due to their multiple word-class membership, which is so characteristic of English words and which can lead to word families whose members all look alike. An extreme case is the family containing the noun, adjective, verb and adverb which all share the form right and have quite closely related meanings:\n\nI insist on the right of reply. \n\nShe held it in her right hand.\n\nRight the boat, please!\n\nShe went right to the end of the road."

raz-kids.com - get the free 30 day trial.  The books are leveled from preschool reader to 5th grade.  The child reads the book online, clicking on words they don't know to be read aloud, then, they answer comprehension questions.  My son loves to read the stories over and over.  The other suggestion I have is to have her draw a simple picture and write a sentence below.  Work through a notebook from front to back.  After a couple weeks, she encourage her to write longer sentences by adding "and" or "because", etc.  She can read the notebook and improve her reading at the same time.  You'll see an improvement.  You may need to offer rewards for doing extra homework :)

My father, making this same presentation to my class when I was in the first grade, spent half an hour on this complicated hypo about a stolen bike.  When he was done, the only question from the entire class was one kid who wanted to know if all judges have white hair.\n\nFor kids that young, try to find a rule and a dispute about the rule that they might understand.  Maybe something like:  The best student gets first pick of the toys at playtime.  Then you could talk about all the definitions of "best student" - highest grades, tries hardest, most attentive, etc.  And you could talk about things like whether she gets to pick once at the beginning of playtime or just can keep picking up whichever toy she wants. \n\nThat should lead to a discussion of rules, disputes, the role of lawyers to help people make their arguments, and the role of judges to decide them and why it's all better than just two kids fighting over a toy in the middle of the room.\n\nThat's how I'd do it, anyway.

Your idea is a good one. Many daycare centers have private kindergartens. But you might take your child to kindergarten testing at your district and see how she tests.

Most children need to be 5 before December if they start kindergarten in Sept. (that is a NY state law)  Personally, as a teacher, I think that children should be 5 and turn 6 in kindergarten -- I find them more ready for everything that is about to come their way.  It is not always the case, but most times. Unfortunately, it just doesn't work out that way and you wind up with a class of mixed ages across the grades. so expect \n3 4 & 5 in PreK\n4 5 & 6 in Kindergarten\n5 6 & 7 in first ...You get the picture.\n\nThis doesn't include children who may have been retained, or children that have been skipped.\n\nas far as 20...I would imagine that you should be in an undergraduate program in college.  There is no age level as you can start at anytime and be a freshman.

It depends on your child's individual needs and abilities. I would suggest visiting your state's education association website to see if they have Pre-Kindergarten curriculum guidelines that they use in the public school. This might be a good place to start, and you can modify these if neccessary to meet your child's needs. \n\nAs for books, I would suggest reading books to your child as a regular part of your homeschooling. To begin teaching your child to read, I recommend the awesome book, "Phonemic Awareness in Young Children: A Classroom Curriculum" by Marilyn Jager Adams\n\nI would also try to keep a consistent schedule and routine as much as possible, and work on coping strategies for times the routine must change, if this is an issue. \n\nGood luck and enjoy learning with your child!

i wouldnt be worrying so much about grades, but the content.  if they are missing a lot of key concepts and ideas that are appropriate for that age level, something needs to be done.  im an educator in texas and we have spelling activities every week, cursive is taught in third, and science is all year.  but there is so much more to school than those few things.  from what you have said, it makes me wonder what else is falling through the cracks?  i would contact the school board, the district superintendants, and whoever else you need to get this resolved.  check up on required curriculum for the state and see if this school/class is meeting those.

For preschoolers, I would have a lot of action and songs.  Examples would include showing them and having them practice Stop Drop and Roll.  Feel free to email me for a cute short song that you could teach them.  Another idea is to have plastic items (from a toy bag purchased at the Dollar Store or Big Lots).  Have them name the different items...firefighter, fire truck, ambulance, etc.  End with a short story...I have various titles in my fire box and would be happy to share with you the titles...Clifford is just one off hand and it comes with a tape.  Another activity you could do for them is to go to the local fire dept and see if they would allow you to record various sounds...sirens, 911 operator, the person who announces a fire, water, maybe a firedog barking etc... or take your video camera or even camera to take photos.  Perhaps you could even arrange for them to visit your school or you go to them.  Also, ask them if they have any coloring books.  One last thought, try various websites for coloring pages and lesson plans (educational sites).  Have fun!!!!!

I teach third graders (8-9 year olds). I arrange their individual desks in groups of 4-5 with two people side-by-side- and then two facing them and maybe one on the end.  I select students who are lower to put next to average students and then higher students with average or low students. I give them many opportunities to discuss ideas in partners next to them(elbow partners) and partners across from them (mirror partners). They can also discuss things as a whole group which I allow them to name their table together. I also set up a reading corner.with pillows and books of varying levels. If you have room, you can set up a writing table to publish their writing. It could contain various papers, pre-made blank books, envelopes, markers, crayons, hole punches and zig-zag scissors. I have lots more ideas but hopefully this will help for now...Good Luck!

By teaching them something fun or something that they want to learn. This is how it is done in Kindergarten.\nFood, play, short poems (remember Seuss), Chinese things like chopsicks, noodles, mother, dad. Sing, color or draw but do not spend so much time that it will loose their attention. Take breaks for exercise.\n  See below for an interesting website.
