[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 426955, member: 1169"] Australia has a very good online schooling program. If you can get him enrolled in that, it should help with the curriculum. Time, days, months, money are all a bit advanced. My kids still sing the days of the week song sometimes: Sunday, Monday Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday, Friday Saturday Sunday, Monday Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday, Friday Saturday (sung to the tune of My Darling Clementine) I think the #1 MOST IMPORTANT THING that you can do at this age is to make learning fun. Be creative, use environmental learning opportunities. (How many steps to the park? Counting by 10s, how many jumps to get from the slide to the swings, etc). If he likes physical activity, create an obstacle course where after each physical obstacle there is a flashcard with either a sight word or a math fact that he has to read/solve. I wouldn't start multiplication yet. He should really learn his addition facts first. [/QUOTE]
