A preschool curriculum for learning about the alphabet and concrete math skills.Stress-free, gentle, relaxed learning for little ones...
"A mother's first duty to her children is to secure for them a quiet and growing time, a full six years of passive receptive life, the waking part of it for the most part spent out in the fresh air." ~ Charlotte Mason Mothers are always worried that they aren't stimulating their little children enough and that their children will be 'behind' their peer group. They also need the security of a curriculum that gives them age-appropriate activities to do with their children in order to stimulate them and lay a good foundation in their children's lives - a foundation that will also benefit their children later, when formal learning begins. After almost 20 years of homeschooling my This is why I always say that its the moms that need a curriculum, NOT the children! However, there ARE certain activities which parents can encourage which also make a significant difference to how children's brains develop. While young children DO NOT have to be rushed into learning phonics and developing reading skills (this could be detrimental), they DO need to be READ to on a regular basis. Regular reading aloud by a parent or caregiver ensures that children are being exposed to the complexities of language and this develops language and many other skills they need. ABC Fun & 1-2-3 combines both of the above in an adult- & child-friendly weekly program that gently introduces children to the letters and sounds of the alphabet and exposes them to good children's literature.
Children discover learning ...
"There is reason to believe that the thrill the youngster finds in experimenting with the natural things about him at home is soon stifled by the distractions and regimentation of the typical school program."
What ABC Fun will do for you
1. ABC Fun & 1-2-3 is stress-free Using stories and age-appropriate activities, ABC Fun helps children learn about the alphabet and
numbers in a relaxed way - its fun, not work!
Michelle (USA) 2. Children love stories and stories are good for kids
If your children have role models (like you), who share the love of books with them, they will be enthusiastic about learning to read.
"Kids need to see their parents reading, and they need to be read to themselves as early as possible. Young school-aged children benefit from responsive reading of stories with their parents. Such literacy-nurturing activities have been shown repeatedly to foster optimal language development." ~ Mel Levine, A Mind at a Time
"The idea that parents should hurry reading, spelling, writing, or math ahead of children's normal development is not supported by a single replicable research study in the world or by any clinical experience in history. All history, research and common sense points in the opposite direction! We repeat: Any who push the three R's early deny the readiness the Creator built in - reasonably mature vision, hearing, taste, touch, smell, reason, brain growth, coordination ..."
~ Raymond and Dorothy Moore, The Successful Homeschool Family Handbook Research has shown pushing children into formal learning activities before they are developmentally and emotionally ready is detrimental. However, using the correct methods you can encourage interest, stimulate exploration and lay a foundation for later on when children are ready to begin with formal schooling. ABC Fun & 1-2-3 was written with the Moore's advice (left) in mind. It will spark a love for books and a passion for learning in your children, without the stress that is typical of other educational materials. It includes reviews of good quality stories (not twaddle) that you can read to your kiddies.
A mom and preschool teacher's experience:
I recently purchased ABC Fun & 1-2-3 from Shirley, which comes with my highest recommendation! I taught for 2 years, and thought that homeschooling meant that everything had to be perfect and that I had to provide everything for my children that they would be getting if they were attending a nursery school and put so much pressure on myself that I spent half my life prepping lessons and programmes that I was too tired to give to my children ...completely defeating the entire point of having them at home with me! ~ Eloise, Mom to Matthew 4, and Amy 3 (Australia) About ABC Fun & 1-2-3DO NOT COPY THIS SALES PAGE.

"I love the idea, love the way the learning takes place, love the books and poems recommended, and love that I feel a freedom to add to and take away according to the bent of my daughter, but most of all, I love the results.
This is one tool that I as a preschool mom would not be without and certainly something that I love to recommend to other mothers." (April, NC) If I was only allowed to pick one early learning resource, then ABC Fun and 1-2-3 , by Shirley Erwee would be it! We had lots of fun times and created a lovely keepsake and precious memories. This resource gets a definite thumbs up from us. Eloise (Australia) "Leticia and I enjoy using your ideas. We started with the letters of her name earlier this year when she said she wanted to learn letters. I decided to repeat them, doing whole weeks for each letter as you suggest. It's really working well." (Lida, South Africa) "I want to say thanks for creating such a great preschool program. My 5 year old wants to do school just like her big brother but is just not ready for the grade 1 program we are using. We have only started your book but already she is much more content because she is doing school. I've never bothered with e-books before as I have preferred to have a printed book in front of me but I have to say that I am impressed with ABC Fun & 1-2-3. I am happy do give a more detailed review when we arefurther in to the book. But so far, so good!" Davina (USA) "When you buy ABC Fun & 123 the greatest benefit is that you do not only buy a curriculum for your little one, you "buy" Shirley's veteran experience and mother's heart." ~ Wendy Young (Cape Town, SA) |

I have a 5 year old son with Down Syndrome and we have really been working on his writing this summer. Your worksheets have made it so much more fun for him than just writing letters. Thanks to you and your book! Thank you for helping him over the hump!
