KAOLO

From listening for sounds to reading a first three letter word. Letter shapes, rhyme, vocabulary and holding a conversation, in the order a child actually learns them.

Counting with meaning instead of by memory. Amounts, shapes, patterns, sorting, comparing and the first steps of adding and taking away, all with objects from your kitchen.

The hand work that makes writing possible later. Pencil grip, cutting, threading, painting and modelling, with projects that end in something your child wants to keep.

Naming feelings, waiting a turn, asking instead of grabbing, and getting through a goodbye. The part of school that decides how the first year goes.

Twelve experiments with water, seeds, magnets and shadows, each with a question to ask before and a reason to explain after. Curiosity with a shape to it.

Rhythm, balance, climbing, throwing, and the songs that teach counting and the days of the week without anyone noticing they are lessons.
