[quote=Anonymous]It worries me that a parent of any preschooler feels the need to tutor him. That is what is meant by "kill and drill". Most children do learn letters and numbers through natural exposure (books, signs, print in the environment like newspapers and food labels) and that is great. The problem with sitting and drilling is that the children can absorb and repeat anything but without context there is no real retention. Children learn best in preschool through investigation and play that is facilitated by a caring adult. Please consider this rather than taking a chance at squashing your child's love of learning by drilling. [/quote]
