Learning Zone

Fun things to know.

These are the building blocks. Every big reader and math star started right here.

Letter Sounds

  • Every letter makes a sound. A says /a/ like apple.
  • Say it out loud. Hearing the sound helps you remember it.
  • Look for letters everywhere — on signs, books, and cereal boxes!

Rhyming Words

  • Rhyming means words that sound the same at the end.
  • Cat, hat, bat — they all rhyme!
  • Clap when you hear a rhyme. It makes your brain notice patterns.

Stories

  • Characters are the people or animals in a story.
  • Stories have a beginning, middle, and end.
  • After reading, ask: "What happened first? What happened next?"

Books and Print

  • We read from left to right and top to bottom.
  • The front cover tells you the title.
  • Words are made of letters with spaces between them.

Counting

  • Count to 20 and back! Practice every day.
  • Touch each object as you count — one touch, one number.
  • Count things at home: toys, steps, crackers!

Shapes

  • Circle: Round like a ball.
  • Square: 4 equal sides.
  • Triangle: 3 sides.
  • Rectangle: Like a door — 2 long sides, 2 short sides.

Comparing

  • More, fewer, same — compare groups of things.
  • Bigger and smaller — which one takes up more space?
  • Taller and shorter — stand two things next to each other!

Adding

  • Adding means putting together.
  • Use your fingers! 3 fingers + 2 fingers = 5 fingers.
  • Draw dots to help you count.
