[quote=Anonymous]Teacher here....I'm just going to throw out that some 4s (well, most actually) aren't really developmentally ready for worksheets. Worksheets are actually pretty abstract - using symbols for sounds and numbers. Kids first need to work with letters (and numbers) in a concrete, hands-on way, like with rhyming games (verbal, so they hear the sounds) or concrete counting games. Plus, most children don't have the fine motor control to do "worksheets" well. So for some, they can be more challenge than they are worth. Some kids are ready though - I would just watch for frustration from your child and stop if there is some....it would be an indication that the exercise is just not appropriate for him right now.[/quote]
