I think learning through play is key. Kids learn more when it is fun. I grew up learning the structured way but honestly if it was fun - it would have made it less tideous. Alphabets are sounds these days. More logical I say. Numbers - I would emphasise on counting things... that is actual maths.
I was advised by my daughter's pre school that they do learning through play until year 1 as children learn better this way x
No, I’m keeping it fun through games, he’ll do that in year 1.
