~6 to 7 years
Curious little explorers
Children are eager to read, write, and count. They are curious, love asking “why,” and start developing discipline and routine.
What to avoid
- Overloading with too much homework.
- Neglecting play and creative activities.
- Comparing speed of reading/writing with peers.
Tip: Swap long worksheets with short, hands-on tasks (5–7 minutes) and movement breaks.
Playful, multi-sensory activities
- Phonics-based reading and picture books.
- Hands-on math with objects.
- Short lessons with visuals and storytelling.
Celebrate effort with stars/smileys; keep tasks short and joyful.
- My Family & Neighbourhood, discussing roles of community helpers..
- Simple sentences (“I have a cat”), neat cursive/print practice.
- Drawing, clay modeling, group games for motor skills.
-
✅ Encourage daily reading at home – even 10 minutes helps fluency.
✅ Use real-life math – counting fruits, money, toys to make concepts practical.
✅ Don’t compare – every child learns reading/writing at a different pace.
✅ Build a routine – fixed study, play, and sleep times.
✅ Encourage your child to ask questions – curiosity is the base of learning.
✅ Focus on effort, not just marks – praise small achievements.
✅ Reduce screen time, increase outdoor play for balance.
