EDarussalam does not permits to copy and distribute it to others

Is it the role of the nursery school or 
kindergarten to teach the child how to 
read and write? 
Despite the fact that the child at this stage is mentally ready to
learn new words and has a huge capacity to store new
vocabulary, at the same time his muscle control is not yet fully
developed, especially the fine muscles that enable him to hold
and control a pen properly. Moreover his nervous system and
vision are not yet able to focus and read. If we teach the child
how to read and write at this age, it is akin to forcing a
five-­‐month-­‐old baby to stand and walk.
We should also keep it clear in our minds that the aim of the
nursery school or kindergarten stage is not to teach reading and
writing or to give the child a curriculum of subjects such as
language, religion and mathematics. These aims will be achieved
at later academic stages. What we have to pay attention to now
is developing the child’s ability to speak and express himself
correctly and training him to pay attention, listen and pick up
information, in addition to helping him love books and
knowledge, develop control of his movements and muscles, and
acquire awareness of the five senses and how to use them
properly.
From the above we see that the child is able to feel, understand,
see and comprehend what is around him and find out about his
social and natural environment, which will help him to achieve
social and emotional harmony whilst getting him used to
respecting the wishes and inclinations of others for the sake of
emotional balance between his own wishes and those of others.
It is also important to teach the child religious, moral, aesthetic
and patriotic values so that he can distinguish between good and
evil, beautiful and ugly, in interactions with others.
All of these goals should be dealt with as one harmonious and
indivisible unit. It is not possible to give precedence to one goal
