Grade levels
Wherever grade levels are mentioned you may need to adjust for your State. In some states there is a compulsory year of preparation BEFORE grade 1. In other States this prep year is called Grade 1. Thus grade 2 in Qld, NT, SA, & WA is equivalent to grade 1 in NSW, ACT, Vic, Tas, NZ and USA. However, levels should be seen as approximate guides only - a bit like estimating clothing sizes from children's ages.

Computer Skills

If you own a computer, teach your children to use it as a tool, not a toy. Computers can be useful for general education if used wisely and educational software can be obtained from computer shops or internet sites (but don't take all information at face value - verify accuracy with reliable documents first). Beware of "edu-tainment" where educational value is minimal.

Touch typing is the main computer awareness course we recommend, especially if you do not currently own a computer. "Touch typing" means typing without looking - no cue but feel.

We do not recommend you spend much effort on learning specific computer programs. Software packages differ widely, and change often. On-the-job retraining will be necessary in most cases, so your effort will be largely ineffective. Teach generic skills such as word processing and spreadsheet basics only.
