- Phonics skills
- To read independently, children must understand the relationship between the sounds in spoken words and the letters that represent those sounds.
- Word building
- As children put together letters to make words, they learn how even small changes (changing mat to man to can) result in completely new words.
- Counting
- Children learn to count and compare sets of objects.
- Telling time
- Children learn that clocks are tools for measuring time in hours and minutes and how to read both digital and analog varieties.
