What is this book?

Play Group is a child's first year of school, usually at about three years old. The English workbook for Term 1 does not ask for neat writing; it asks the child to meet the letters. The inside page we photographed is an Alphabet page with the lowercase letters a to z printed in light grey, so the child can trace over them. A very faint outline of a cat sits behind the letters, a small picture to colour and to talk about.

"Step 1" is the first level of the Smart School's three-step beginners path (Play Group, Nursery and Prep).

Tracing, not writing

The grey letters are a guide for a pencil or crayon. For a three-year-old, tracing is a gentle first step: the hand follows a path that is already there. Do not expect straight lines or letters inside the space. Expect wobble, and praise it. Over weeks, the hand grows steadier.

What a three-year-old needs before a workbook

Before a child can hold a pencil well, the hand needs practice with bigger movements: painting, drawing in sand, rolling dough, threading beads and squeezing a sponge. If your child dislikes holding a pencil, spend a few weeks on these first. The workbook can wait; the hand cannot be rushed.

Letters in the child's day

Learn letters through things the child loves. Name the letter that starts a family member's name. Look for the first letter of the child's name on a cereal box, a sign or a book. Sing an alphabet song while pointing at the page. A cat picture on the page can start a talk: "What does the cat say? What letter is c?"

A gentle routine

1. Look at the page together and say the letters, pointing.
2. Choose one or two letters to trace. Hold your child's hand lightly if needed.
3. Colour the cat or draw a picture for the letter.
4. Stop after five minutes; end with a song.

Do not insist on finishing a page. A page can take a week.

Term 1 and Term 2

The Term 2 workbook for Play Group is also on this site. It has the same Step 1 level for the second half of the session.
