[quote=Anonymous]The public library is your best resource. Use it as often as possible. Between Common Sense Media, book suggestion threads on DCUM, and the advice of various childrens' librarians across town, you and your DD can find great books to keep her happy and challenged. Just be sure to mix things up. Chapter books with age-appropriate themes, picture books, and non-fiction books are all wonderful and important at that age. Mix things up! For math, do some searches on DCUM for ideas and resources. Math is much, much more than addition. Consider spatial games and toys, word problems, patterns and number puzzles, YouTube channels like Vi Hart, Lego robotics programs, and other early STEM /STEAM resources. The key is to keep things FUN. At this age, there's no need for regimented enrichment routines. Keep it light, expose her to things at home, and follow her interests. [/quote]
