Even before we send our child to nursery or to kindergarten, we as parents make it a point that our child learns the very first things which are considered essential knowledge at home. Most of us start by teaching the child to pronounce simple words and names. Some kids have fun with colors so we spoil them with coloring books, even with colorable wallpaper. But how do we teach children to learn and prepare for preschool?

One of a parent's important roles during a child's preoperational stage is helping the child to establish a learning pattern. This may sound like a serious task, and it truly is, especially for the parent.

According to the Piagetian theory, children, in the ages of 2-7 years, start to acquire motor skills. Apart from that, this is also the time wherein the child's imagination is full of magical thoughts. This is where the CAMI educational software comes in. The CAMI perceptual system which is part of the Perceptual Skills Builder Software addresses the child's need to develop his/her motor skills. It includes exercises that deal with the body of the child.

Apart from this, the CAMI educational software also features programs and exercises that encompass the following areas of perception: colors, shapes, spatial orientation, associative skills, mental retention, auditory skills, and estimation of quantities. Don't worry though, with the expert skills of the makers of the software your child won't be in any danger of being overwhelmed by a mismatch of different learning materials.

Another thing that impressed me about the CAMI Perceptual System is how effective the sound exercises are able to actually enhance my child's concentration. After just a couple of weeks of experimenting with the software, I could definitely notice my 6-year-old paying more attention to me. I haven't got any formal reports or any documentation of that sort yet, but I could easily tell that my son is now more interested in things he didn't use to pay attention to.

Summing up, the CAMI educational software is a useful tool for preparing your child for school. I'd even go as far as saying that it can eventually define your child's ability to perform in school. The CAMI educational software uses its programs strategically so that your child will learn to become more organized and observant even at an early stage. Visual sequencing exercises will help develop your child's reading and spelling skills, others will aid him or her in improving his/her memory. All these skills are of great use once your child enters school age.

The thing that amazes me most, though, is how this software, after only a few weeks, is able to spark my child's interest in learning altogether. Where my son used to flinch at the mention of reading, the CAMI educational software has been able to develop his concentration skills and attract his attention with the use of simple yet systematically designed programs and an altogether strategic learning platform. It is highly recommendable especially to those parents who feel that they need to prepare their children for school education even further.
