Volume1

Volume One is the first step in the INYW? curriculum plan. It consists of 26 hands-on activities each month for twelve months plus additional resources. To begin, click on Month 1 below and complete all 26 activities in order or any order you choose. Don't forget to check the "completed" box when finished. 

When completed with all 26 activities in Month 1,continue to Month 2. The "Skills Focus" in the activity box quickly shows you what skills are being focused on for each month. A suggestion is to try a team-approach by sharing the activities of INYW? with all the adults that interact with the preschooler to help prepare a child for kindergarten/first grade.

Volume One is recommended for children ages 3-7 as most activities provide a way to "simplify" and "extend" the activity based on your child's age and level. Have fun!
