People who are thinking about homeschooling want to know the best age to start children in home school. What they probably want to know is when to start formal academic knowledge. In my opinion, the children begin to learn things like before they ever even know what the book is. They learn how to feed themselves, walk, talk, pull it off the table, and all the other things they do to investigate the world around them.
When it comes to formal education, letters and numbers are probably the first exposure kid to learn. They begin to see the letters and numbers when they are very young, and smart parent will talk to them about the letters form words. Parents can create a sense of wonder for children about how letters make up words and words make up books. The sooner kids learn how to read, the sooner they will be able to learn on their own. Kids should be encouraged to learn to read, whether parents use the book to teach their children to read, or whether the kids figure it out on their own.
If children are encouraged to learn to read in a relaxed environment, they will go through the stages of learning to read at their own pace. First they learn the alphabet and sounds of letters, then learn how to put the vowels and consonants together, learn how to put more words together and finally, they know how to read just about any words. It is best to rush levels and just work with the child when they are ready.
Parents can help their children learn even faster by reading them at least half an hour a day and point out letters and numbers as they appear to them all day. They can help them to believe all sorts of things that they encounter throughout the day. When children are free to talk to their parents and ask questions, they can learn so much more than if they are forced to fill in workbooks in a few hours.
Children can use paper and pencils as soon as they can hold a pencil in their hands. Drawing is Penmanship practice. Children are visual students sometimes enjoy filling in workbooks, the workbooks do not necessarily teach children what they need to learn or help them keep what they wrote down.
Moreover, workbooks, parents can use music, maps, field trips, and hands on activities to help their children learn what they need to learn.
