Let Growing Blog parent education and educators

Now that the school year is over, parents and teachers we take stock of the year. We as teachers, We analyze whether we have achieved the objectives that we had set our students arrive. And dads echáis look back and see everything they have learned, or they have not learned, your kids since September.

Surely as a parent you will be worried about what will your small, and most likely you will have silver to his guardian doubts the type, Is it normal not yet read?

As you can imagine, you are not the only ones who will do these approaches and many dads, ignorance or simply by comparison with other children, They believe their child should have knowledge that in most cases are far less necessary.

This week I read the South Journal article, in which it is just this topic. Although he is very focused on the provisions of the Andalusian, I recommend reading, because it reinforces what I'm going to have in today's article.

Today I intend you to know what exactly what your child should know and what skills should be developed during the pre-primary education, centrándome, above all, on literacy.

First, we will see, It tells us what the Madrid about how to learn during this stage.

According to him REAL DECRETO 1630/2006, from 29 from December, states that "in this stage, more than any other, development and learning are dynamic processes that occur as a result of interaction with the environment". I.e., to produce meaningful learning, what the child learns must relate to their environment and elements that are familiar.

Another point that emphasizes and from my point of view is paramount, especially because sometimes both parents and teachers seems that we forget, It is related to diversity.

On this topic, states that "Every child has its own rhythm and style of maturation, development and learning, thus, affectivity, personal characteristics, your needs, interests and cognitive style, They should also be elements that condition educational practice at this stage ".

Further, in many cases the difference in rates of learning is not only the result of different rhythms and characteristics. In many cases it is the result of something as simple as the natural age difference. Obviously, not learn like a child who just turned 5 years in January, one that meets in December, and that is something that parents and teachers must take into account.

Apart from all this, I imagine that like most dads, the point you most concerned about is literacy. On this issue the Royal Decree refers to "Promote good first approach to reading and writing".

Later materializes this point a little more telling "in the second cycle of child education it is intended that children discover and explore the uses of reading and writing, awakening and strengthening their interest in them. The functional and meaningful use of reading and writing in the classroom, take them, with relevant educational intervention, to start learning some of the properties of written texts and its conventional characteristics, whose acquisition was completed in the first year of primary school.

As you will see when we talk about reading and writing, at all times it referred to first approach or approach, that is to say, your kids do not have to know how to read in kindergarten.

Of course, if there are children who are prepared and even demand this type of knowledge 4 years old, if so, Clearly, it can start reading and writing at that age, but as we have seen, each child is different and each has its own pace and we can not generalize and less forcing. In fact we must be careful with this issue, because as discussed in the article Diario Sur, "Pressure from parents and teachers to acquire the child in Child competences that are not ready can damage your self-esteem and lead to school failure".

In conclusion, we must consider the individual rhythms of each child and adapt based on that learning, but never compare him with other children because everything your children to live during this stage will mark his life and, will favor, o no, future learning.

I leave the link to the website of the Community of Madrid where you can find the Royal Decree to which I have referred and regulations linked to this topic.

Thanks for your time.

Kisses to all,

"One is not what is at writing, but by what you read ".
