The Primary Curriculum, for children ages 3 through 6, involves developmental hands-on material. In the practical life area, children are given opportunities to perfect their small muscle coordination, to lengthen their attention spans, and to learn skills which aid them in gaining independence. Sensorial materials help children to distinguish, categorize, and relate new information to what they already know. In the math area, children gain a strong foundation in the decimal system, hands-on experience with the four operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division), and some memorization of math facts. In language, children initially learn the phonetic sounds of the letters of the alphabet as their hands learn the shapes of each letter. They usually begin writing and reading during their final year in the primary class.
