5 Years Old

At five, children are ready for a little more structure. The activities for 5-year-olds cover seven topics. In math, your child counts to 10 and links quantities to numerals, compares groups (more, fewer, the same), recognizes and names 2D shapes, and continues patterns such as AB, ABB, and ABC. In language, they listen for the first sound in a word, split words into syllables, learn their first letters—starting with the ones in their own name—and build hand control with pre-writing strokes.

Every topic has an online exercise of 10 questions with spoken instructions and instant feedback. Keep sessions short and relaxed, and mix screen time with paper practice: letter and number tracing worksheets, line tracing, small mazes for ages 4–5, and easy connect-the-dots pages with up to 10 dots are all free to print.
