I just noticed a free book on Kindle today. It's called "How To Teach Your Child". I have not personally read this book so I can't give a review or recommendation but you can't beat free! I hope someone finds this helpful!
How To Teach Your Child
Earlier today I mentioned a preschool app being offered for free today in the Amazon Appstore
While the app has been getting mostly negative reviews (2 star average as of this writing) I actually thought better of it than that. I knew from reading the reviews that the main complaint was that the "connect-the-dot" pictures didn't start with the letter they were supposed to illustrate. (The letter E for instance uses a picture of a fire truck that incorporates the E structure into the connect-the-dot design.) Knowing this beforehand made it easier to deal with while exploring it. It's possible that it might be confusing for a preschooler but not as much as some reviewers seemed to think. Kids don't always think too deeply about the meanings that we adults assign to things.
Our seven year old daughters were very fascinated by the coloring of the pictures after they connected the dots. They blew through the whole alphabet and started over again with the numbers. They actually started arguing over whose turn it was to color. I would have assumed they were too old to have any interest in a game designed for preschool aged kids. I think in a similar way most preschoolers will easily overlook the fact that the pictures don't start with the letter being illustrated. This app will let them have some fun while gaining familiarity with letters and numbers.
Definitely get this game if only for the fact that it's free. You shouldn't be surprised though if your child ends up loving it and being fascinated by all the dot-connecting and coloring.
Amazon's Android app store has a free app every day. Today's free app is "Connect the Dots and Color". It's an app for preschoolers that helps with learning numbers and letters while letting them create art.
You can beat the price so I would head right over and pick it up before it goes back to $1.99!
