 Home schooling a 4 year old ism't very hard.  If you have a computer there a
 some really nice programs out there.  If you are on the net you can do
 a search of educational files and find some preschool ones.  
 Do art and craft things that will help her small coordination.  Keep reading
 here, we are all here, but get caught up sometimes.  Basically finding
 things that will be fun and crafty will teach her more at her age.
 Drawing a picture of an apple for example and than putting an A on it.
 Do only several letters every few weeks.  Basically all she really needs
 to do is recognize letters, her name, know where she lives, address,
 numbers thru 10 or 20.  Don't push her.  The less you push and the more
 you have fun, the more she will learn.  Personally I like computer
 games of these nature.  My grand daughter is 4 and doesn't like to learn,
 but is doing wonders on the computer since I moved accross the street
 and she can access a computer more.  She loves the music that goes with
 the ABC's and even matching stuff.  I have a matching memory game of
 Toy STory.  It isn't really much, but she loves it.  She hasn't really
 developed memory skills yet and still has trouble with the mouse, but
 is comming along.  She also has done a program a while back that requires
 you to pick a shape that belongs to another shape (part of a shape like a
 piece of pie belongs to a circle).  She got a 100 percent.  So I think
 she is alot smarter than we thought.  Only she doesn;t like borning things
 like repeating ABC and stuff.  She will repeat it to the computer though.
 Good Luck
 Regina
