Mathematic (4 – 6 Years)

(Sight words are common words like “and,” “the,” “her,” and “there” that can‘t be learned through pictures.) If your child is an early reader, you don’t need to do anything more than offer encouragement and provide plenty to read.Your child has probably mastered “thirteen,” “fourteen,” and the other pesky “teen words” and can count to 20. Most 5–year–olds can recognize numbers up to ten and write them. Older 5–year–olds may be able to count to 100 and read numbers up to 20. A 5–year–old’s knowledge of relative quantities is also advancing.

These kids typically gain about 4–5 pounds (2 kilograms) and grow about 2–3 inches (5 to 8 centimeters) per year. An average 4–year–old weighs about 40 pounds and is about 40 inches tall.Your 4–year–old should recognize at least some letters and understand that they each make a different sound. Preschoolers start to identify rhyming words and can tell if two words have the same beginning sound.
