Pre-K Scholars

We have just finished our first week using PreK Scholars. I’m calling our “weeks” from Monday – Wednesday being that my boys go to Mothers Day Out on Thursdays for the day. Friday’s, we spend time either reviewing our week or taking a day of “rest”.
We found this curriculum at the MidSouth Homeschool Convention and fell in love with it as well as the authors. My son is a bit advanced for this, but it is awesome review for Kindergarden and this will be THE ONLY curriculum I use for my next son when he goes through Pre-K. It’s absolutely amazing, new, and something people don’t know much about yet, but when they do, they will wonder what they ever did before finding out about it.

A little about PreK Scholars

There IS a Difference, It’s integrated, comprehensive, effective and fun!

Pre K Scholars believes there are two resources with great potential to improve pre-kindergarten education: parents of preschool children and retired or inactive preschool and elementary teachers. Both are lacking one essential ingredient, an integrated, comprehensive, effective, fun kindergarten readiness curriculum targeted for home use. Prepare your child for kindergarten by investing in a pre k program that really makes a difference!

Busy parents face a bewildering array of reading readiness programs, phonics choices, early math instruction devices and computer programs and handwriting practice manuals. They must decide which to purchase, when to use them, how to integrate them, which to launch first—all overwhelming tasks for which they are ill-suited in time, experience and energy. Similarly, there are tens of thousands of currently inactive school teachers, lacking only an effective manageable curriculum they could teach in their homes, resource centers or churches.

Pre K Scholars is an innovative, research-based program easily implemented by parents and early educators.

The Pre K Scholars program is 22 weeks long and it isolates the letters and their sounds weekly for optimum understanding. The letters are not presented alphabetically to avoid predictability and rote learning. Instead, they are introduced primarily based on speech acquisition and sound development. Some letters and their sounds may be introduced together for differentiation purposes and to avoid any sound confusion. For example Y and U are introduced together because when many children identify the letter U, they automatically assume it has the “yuh” sound. Therefore, presenting them together avoids confusion and provides clarity with these two particular sounds.

The Pre K Scholars program integrates all the skills and knowledge required for kindergarten readiness: basic fine motor skills, deductive reasoning activities, basic math, basic science, reading and writing readiness, and handwriting into one curriculum. This approach frees a parent from selecting and integrating a bewildering list of individual programs directed at only one skill or knowledge base.

Pre K Scholars meets or exceeds most state kindergarten readiness standards!

Demo the first lesson!

Are you a believer in this curriculum? Start your home based business and teach Pre-K Scholar classes! Or, maybe you’re looking for a class in your area. Look no further! I’m sure there is one in your area.

Ok, lets talk about the curriculum. You can do lots of shopping on this site {beware- it is very addicting!} We purchased the Core Curriculum DVD set and are creating our own binder. However, we are ordering the flashcards this week and I’m so excited.

So, this week we did the letter “P”. Yes, my son knows all his letters and sounds but this is SUCH a good review for him and the handwriting practice and learning in this curriculum is amazing. We colored the letter “P” pink and purple and placed it on pink construction paper. This was the first page in the binder we’re creating.

We made Peppermint Pink Playdough and he had a blast! The pattern work in this week’s lessons were phenomenal. He is understanding AAB, ABC, and ABB patterns.

As you can tell, we’re a huge fan of this and I’m excited to share our journey through Pre-K Scholars with you. We’ll be wrapping this up later this summer just in time to start our Kindergarden year.
