Quick Question

[Cat Herder]

I saw that someone else mentioned this too. What starting age is this geared for?

K-12 offers it with their 3 year old program (I feel it is geared more to K-4th), but I use it a bit with 2-3's . (since I have ALOT of the supplies left over)

They rarely write anything resembling a word, but they are learning how to hold a pen, pencil, crayon, colored pencil and dry erase marker.

They are learning I don't let them "play with them" anymore if they try to eat them, and I don't like it when they bang the tips on the table..

Some get pretty close to recognizable letters/words occasionally..

well...if 20 month olds know their letters by sight then i'd say you are WAAAAY ahead of the game. that's not typical nor expected.

One of the 20 month olds mothers is a teacher and she reads with her all the time. She started with me at 12 months and she could say the word "opposite". asI have been SO impressed with her and work on things with her too here. She knows ALL her basic colors and shapes and numbers to 9... When she see's the number 10 she says "1" and "o". I call her my baby Einstein. I wasn't going to buy a preschool curriculum until August, because that's when they will all be 2, but she's so smart I thought I could start her now since she's thriving to learn. As for the other 20 months old she only knows her letters, a few numbers and colors. I think she is definitely ready to move on as she's emerging in many areas.

I agree its not typical and definitely not expected. My DH often is worried because our 17.5 month old doesn't know ALL his letters or colors, etc. He makes me feel sometimes like I'm doing something wrong with him. I just have to explain that she's way advanced.
