Foreword English
“Advanced Kids Series” is based on the specifications of the latest pre-primary
level ECD curriculum and also on Montessori principle in Nepali context. It
supports the development of essential reading and writing skills with correct
pronunciation and motivate children to complete and enjoy each activity with
colourful, meaningful humorous illustrations. It helps the children to recognize
letters, process of letter formation and writing letters with full concept of
different themes. The exercises focus on recognizing, comparing, matching,
sequencing and sorting the letters. The exercises / activities are carefully
graded, varied and child-centred with coverage for children with different
learning abilities.
Suggestions for applying Advanced Kids Series
• First of all, make the child’s learning environment secure and happy.
• 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 child’s confidence.
• The clear and simple directions on every activity / exercise page will
enable children to proceed independently but your undivided attention is
necessary. Regarding the word, just let them recognised the picture.
• Before starting the page, please give very clear child-friendly instructions.
Read and the title of the page especially for those who can learn more
clearly by listening (auditory learner). Show an example of all the concept 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 material
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 typical,
so accept it.
Remember to be patient, encouraging and positive with your child,
even when minor mistakes are made.
