Preschool (Ages 4-6)

Preschool is the time when children learn through play. This section brings together short math and early-literacy activities for ages 4 to 6, organized by age so you can start exactly where your child is: 4 years old, 5 years old, or 6 years old, the school readiness year.

Every topic has an online exercise of 10 questions with spoken instructions and instant feedback, so children who cannot read yet can still take part. Math starts with counting to 5 and naming shapes and colors, then moves on to counting to 10, comparing quantities, patterns, and adding with objects. Language skills grow from rhymes and syllables to letter sounds, first letters, and reading in syllables.

Short sessions work best, ideally with you nearby. For practice away from the screen, print free tracing worksheets, mazes, connect-the-dots pages, and coloring pages.
