Child Education
I have a daughter and she is 4 Yrs old. She is going to a play school near my house and they taught her some basic lessons. Now she can read & write the alphabets A-Z, numerals 1-100 and also knows the colours, but she has not yet started to learn any words. Now I am planning to enrol her in the school, please may I have opinions whether to admit her in KG1 or KG2.
Also please can anybody tell me what a child of 4 Yrs suppose to know at this age
Which play school did she go to?? can I have a name of the school where they teached her writing A-Z and 1 - 100. Please.
I have copied this information from a website.
The following list is what a four year old should be able to do:
Knows names of familiar animals
Can use at least four prepositions or can demonstrate his understanding of their meaning when given commands
Names common objects in picture books or magazines
Knows one or more colors
Can repeat 4 digits when they are given slowly
Can usually repeat words of four syllables
Demonstrates understanding of over and under
Has most vowels and diphthongs and the consonants p, b, m, w, n well established
Often indulges in make-believe
Extensive verbalization as he carries out activities
Understands such concepts as longer, larger, when a contrast is presented
Readily follows simple commands even thought the stimulus objects are not in sight
Much repetition of words, phrases, syllables, and even sounds
sameeh parents are confused about to put her in grade 1 or kg2 not to return her again in kg1
if i understand well question parents are confuse between KG2 and grade 1 so they don't ask to return her to KG1
she had enough at the age of four,And now no need to join in KG1.She can directly join KG2- but when thinking of her age she can join kg 1 by tat she can gain much confidence & likeness towards studies becoz she know to answer the questions the tutor ask.
I suggest to put her in KG2 let her live normal childhood and it is grate that in this age she knows all what you mention in your question. From my experience as teacher and mother I can tell you that is unlivable jumps in education-level in this early childhood period.It is very important to give them time and right information to let them develop there previous knowledge.
Good luck
