Reading and Writing
For Reading
Your young child needs to master the alphabet and recognize
the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. You can use cue cards (or pieces of
paper) with these letters and number written on them, and ask him or her to
identify each symbol as it shown. An erasable surface may serve instead for the
writing of symbols to be recognized. Turn the mastery of these symbols into a
game.
Cue cards can also be used for the expression of short words,
three letter, then four letter. Explain that every words can be written with
letters, and every number can be written with words or digits. Short stories
with short words can be read with your child. Here your child can be encouraged
to read the stories aloud with you. You can also challenge your child to read
the words silently, that is, with mouth closed and no lip motion.
When you child starts reading ahead of where you both are,
then it is time for him or her to read alone. But from time to time, you should
ask your child or teen to read aloud a passage or two, to check and practice the
ability to read aloud. Confidence here needs to be encourage from elementary
school to the end of high school, and even college. Your child should not be
embarrassed to ask you to listen to a passage being written for you to provide
critical, not too critical, constructive feedback. This is part of the
learning or teaching process.
For Writing
A child may master reading, spelling and acquire a large
vocabulary. Writing requires something to say, a story to tell, instructions to
give, or reasons for this or that. Passively reading or listening or watching
stories is quite different from presenting stories in written or spoken form.
Developing story telling and repeating skills, both written and spoken is
suggested.
An essay which is not descriptive presents a perspective or
point of view, a chain of reasoning perhaps. In meeting or writing a chain of
reason, knowledge of how to follow, form and criticize chains of reason is
required.
Read these first chapters
on the communication & logic in site Volume 1A, Pattern Based Reason,
yourself before bringing them to son's or daughter's attention. The key chapters
on logic appear in sequence in site Volume 2. chapters
1 to 5
Logic mastery (see chapters
1 to 5) and the associated ability to read and write precisely is remedy for
learning difficulties in many subject, mathematics included. So covering
the logic chapters as early as possible without alienating your son or daughter
is recommended. What hard for a 10 year old may be less hard for a 13 year old
and easy for a 16 year old. Have patience.

What to do in School & Why
E.How to Study Mathematics
To read, write and spell, your children need to
learn and memorize the alphabet. Anything less would be absurd. That being
said, learning and using mathematics demands that your children meet key
skills and concepts, and not skip any. Where local schools do not provide the
latter, you need to provide remedies.
Care and Precision: If your child can learn
to follow multi-step methods carefully and precisely in arithmetic, he or she
may do so in other subjects, as well. Get your child or teen, if you
can, to sit down and study. Suggest he or she aim for skill and concept
development and perfection for their own sake, not that of their teachers.
The will to learn is the key to success in
school. Parents do have to be educated to support or guide their
children and teens. What matters more is support for the will to learn, for
children and teens to be told to try to learn and to ask teachers, their
schools or classmates for help and more help, as needed. Teachers and parents
need to push students, help them find the will to learn, teamwork helps.
The main reason and focus for high school
mathematics is or should be preparation for calculus. That requires skill and
knowledge perfection with fractions, algebra, geometry, trig and functions.
Many high school programs do not provide this. Make sure alone or with
help that your children and teens have a good command of
fractions.
