Educational Toys BK Use |
My children share the initials BK. My daughter is a gifted writer who is also mathematically gifted. She is the first born and I call her BK one - A for advanced.
My son (BK2M) is an advanced reader. However, he is so extremely mathematically gifted that there is a tendency for math to overshadow his other abilities. I call him BK to the second power - M for math.
I am sharing the educational toys that I use and have used to make my children advanced learners.

Mini Word Walls - This spelling helper was created as an easy resource tool. Because children love writing with dry erase markers, my children did not mind practicing word building and spelling skills. They enjoy working together to build words. Without weekly spelling lists, BK1A performs as well as, and in some cases, better than her peers in spelling. |
Educational Plays - Over the years, I written original plays to make learning fun and relevant. Children learn through pretend play and make believe. Acting in plays helps children develop self-confidence and language skills. My children have vivid imaginations and they are uninhibited learners. |
