[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is your definition of "prepared"?   Look at the research.  If you think your child needs to be academically ahead, the rematch shows you are wrong.  And yes, flash cards should NEVER be used for preschool aged kids.  [/quote]

My 4.5 year old has some language delays and difficulties with motor planning and it takes him longer than his peers  to do some things like recognize letters, etc on a consistent basis. His preschool teacher suggested printing out pictures of things that are meaningful for him and gluing them next to the letter on index cards (for example "m" is for mommy so a picture of me on the M card. I have a set at home to use with him every once in a while and the preschool has a set as well abd its used whenever appropriate if they are doing any letter type activities.  After a very short time with these cards, he now recognizes his letters pretty consistently bc the pictures of things that interested him helped him (P with a picture of Paw Patrol). His preschool does not do worksheets or anything like that and has a playbased curriculum  but if a child needs cards or some other kind of intervention to help with letters/numbers, they do that...and Im grateful for it.[/quote]
