[quote=Anonymous]we have been really impressed with tools of the mind. kids are learning to read and write and basic math skills through play, so it's not perceived as drudgery to learn. for example they have to "spell out" what they plan to do at their play center, which is centered on some theme (last week it was medicine). obviously my 3 year old is not going to write out a complete sentence, but he sounds out the first letter of each word in the sentence. this has really helped with his reading ability, and he tries to sound out the work when we read during his bedtime. the article that pp posted doesn't say that tools isn't effective. it has not been shown to be any more effective than other preschool curricula. the only thing i can say is that its working for my kid.[/quote]
