Foreword English

“Advanced Kids Series” is based on the specifications of the latest pre-primary level ECD
curriculum and also on Montessori principle in the Nepali context. It supports the development
of essential reading and writing skills with correct pronunciation and motivates the children
to complete and enjoy each activity with coloruful, meaningful, humorous illustrations. It
helps the children to recognize letters, process of letter formation and 2 to 4 letter words with
different themes. The exercises focus on recognition, comparison, matching, sequencing
and sorting the letters and simple words. The exercises / activities are carefully graded, varied
and child-centred with coverage for children having different learning abilities.

Suggestions for applying Advanced Kids Series

• First of all, make the child’s learning environment secure and pleasant.

• Do your best to transmit the message that learning is challenging and difficult, yet enjoyable
and rewarding, so genuine specific praise, temptation and constructive warning will help
to build the child’s confidence.

• The clear and simple directions on every activity / exercise page will enable children to
proceed independently but your constant attention is necessary.

• Before starting the page, please give very clear child-friendly instructions. Read and spell
out the title of the page, especially for those who can learn more clearly by listening
(auditory learner). Show an example of all the concepts to those who can learn more
clearly by looking at things (visual learner). Give an opportunity to touch, feel and play
with concrete objects or materials to those who can learn fast through the medium of
practical exercises by exploring the environment (kinesthetic learner).

• Explain the skill and show the steps of activity to the child as an example.

• Make the child understand and realise with concrete objects, then only let her/him practice
the exercises / activities.

• Make the child practice, repeat, revise the same exercises many times for their long-term
memory.

• Support the child’s efforts to move beyond what s/he has already accomplished.

• There will be days when your child may not feel like working. This is normal, so accept it.

Remember to be patient, encouraging and positive with your child,
even when minor mistakes are made.
