Let them be what they are... God has given them enough brains to learn on their own..\n\nhttp://www.futureaccountant.com/\n\nhttp://www.schoolingkids.com/

TV shows like Sesame Street are good, too.  If you want them to learn to read English, they first have to speak it.  Have them learn correct pronunciation from native speakers.

Read to them and teach them to do things..any simple thing like making a grilled cheese sandwich or sorting laundry ....opens dialog and helps them with the learning process. Besides it can be good quality time together.

Practice speaking with them, don't feel bad about correcting them.  they can watch TV or movies, listen to audio books. Even going to the basics with grade school phonics - Hope this helps!

Your children are young, and that is good.  First, you've already taught them to respect the value of a good education.  Next, if you send them to school commit yourself to helping them daily with their studies.  Is there an educated person in your community?  Can you work out at an arrangement with them to help you educate your children?  They may even know of resources that will help you with your children's education.  If you can get books, read to them all the time and let them read to you.  Good Luck and God Bless.

There are different ways of learning for different people. Visual learners need to see things like pictures, auditory learners need to be told by someone. There's a couple more but I'm not sure what their called. I know there's a hands on learner...that's me...I need to do something to learn it, and then there's the people that learn well from books. It just depends on the way you retain information.

There's some great ideas here!!http://www.preschooleducation.com/scbeach.shtml\n\nHere are some activities I did with my daycare children that went over well...http://tn.essortment.com/preschoolscienc_rjqi.htm\n\nMagnet play. Buy some cheap magnets. See what you can pick up with them. Talk about why magnets attract things. Play with the magnets. Show your child how they can repel and attract each other. Look for magnets around your house.\n\nExplore the night skies together. Take your child out and star gaze! Look for the constellations. Point out the different phases of the moon. Take a book out from your local library and read about how the constellations got their names. \n\nCloud watch together, too. Note the changes in the weather and the way the clouds change when the weather changes. Look for little black rain clouds. Point out big fluffy cumulus clouds. Have fun. Let your preschooler's imagination soar. What do the clouds look like? The sky's the limit! \n\nBugs, Bugs, Bugs! Take your child on a bug hunt. See how many bugs you can find in your backyard. Discuss why some bugs are insects, and others are not. (Insects have 6 legs, three body sections, feelers, and most likely wings, as well.)\n\nBird watch. What do birds eat? How many different kinds of birds live in your neighborhood? Preschoolers love to play games like "Name that Bird," to show off what they've learned. To play, simply look for birds in your yard, point them out one at a time to your child, and say, "Name that bird!" \n\nGood luck!

Why not take advantage of the fact that they are young enough to reprogram them out of the typical "one size fits all cookie cutter" approach to learning? Have you looked into other methods along the home-schooling spectrum? I would pick up a few good books about home schooling elementary aged children and start getting creative instead of relying solely (if at all) on a packaged curriculum.

I agree with the above answer about not forcing a child to learn.  If you want to foster a lifelong love of learning then you have to let a child explore, discover and develop curiousity on their own. Encourage a child to ask questions and then guide them to find answers.  Teach them how ot use a library, the computer and best of all - encourage them to try things, go out into the world an observe things and do hands on research and experimentation.  \n\nI also think children need some structure and repetition, especially when it comes to learning math,  reading and writing skills.  But it does not need to be boring.  You can teach a lot of basic math skills while cooking, shopping and playing with toys.  Reading is always interesting if you encourage a child to pick out books which interst them.

I found it easier to learn Spanish (not my native tongue) by continuously having Spanish language radio and TV on in the background.  Even if I did not understand individual words, the rhythm and sounds of the language became familiar.\n\nLook for recordings of songs and poems - especially children's songs - again what you need is exposure to sounds and rhythms.\n\nThink about how babies learn language - they don't study books, they rely on repetition.\n\nIt sounds silly, but it works - and I don't mind taking baby steps - I couldn't have serious conversations at first, but slowly the skills build - and I still remember how to sing nursery rhymes years later.\n\nHave fun with it - and remember people in England speak differently than people in New York, which is different than English spoken in Texas or English spoken in New Zealand.

we taught our Daughter the abc's and numbers by using the \nfoam letters that you use in the bathtub, when they get wet they stick to anything.\n\nWe would talk about 1 letter or number per bath, and we made it fun we would put a T on her forehead and laugh and say you got a T on your head.\n\nMake it fun and she will learn , if not they will teach her in Kindergarden

Well, it depends on the study. Reading a picture book to a small child is study, as is taking him/her to the park or out in the back yard to look at butterflies.\n  If you are hoping to turn him/her into a spelling bee champion, then it may be a bit soon to be pushing spelling books on the child. Of course, there are adorable learning toys for even that too, so you could be safe there as well,LOL!  \n  Remember, learning starts at birth! If we spend quality time reading and playing with our children, they will learn some spectacular every day. If we plop them in front of a t.v. all day and call it good enough, they may learn their letters and numbers, but will miss out on the excitement of learning by interaction.

put everything into english/spanish. that way they can learn english. and a game is a good idea to teach them about history. find out what games they like and go from there also a spanish speaking person will be helpful. i hope i helped good luck and God bless.

Start with the alphabet...  One good thing I have done is to READ to them every night.  I have a daughter that is 3 and she went to preschool this past year.  She knew her alphabet by the time she was 3.  The other thing that helped her was the Leap Pad I got her.  She recognizes all of the letters of the alphabet.  She has learned alot from her leap pad.  As far as a 1 year old, you can't expect too much, if I can give you one piece of advice it would be to just talk normally to the 1 yr old.  Eventually they will pick up what you are saying and they will respond in their own way.
