[quote=Anonymous]Preschool teacher here. You do not need to force her to do "academic" style assignments. The best learning happens when the learner is engaged. forcing it is not effective. Also, four year olds don't have to be good a writing yet -- she has time to get there. Do playful things with letters if you want to focus on letters. If you'd like her to practice writing, try and make it functional or part of pretend play: writing her name to sign a letter to grandma, or writing up a menu for a play restaurant. I wouldn't expect her to be able to do much of the writing yet, and that's ok. [/quote]
