What preschoolers learn

Preschool is about play, talk and first steps with numbers and letters. Three- and four-year-olds count small groups of things, name colors and shapes, sort by size and notice simple patterns. They listen to stories, join in with rhymes and learn that print carries meaning, often starting with the letters in their own name. Short, cheerful activities with big pictures build attention, memory and the hand control that drawing and writing need later.
