I want to become a computer nerd. Any ideas or suggestions?

Start with a forum like forums.digitalpoint.com and then take it from there. It will take time and if you have the possibility of school- do it.

Internet programs or websites for help with First grade reading programs/comprehension?

Posted by admin on October 31st, 2009 and filed under reading websites | 1 Comment »

I am needing some help for a web site or program that will help my First grader with her reading and comprehension.

We are having a very diffucult time in the first grade. She is Kinesthetic. I am getting no help from her teachers. They are going to fail her this year if we don’t find something soon.
I have asked them for help and am getting no where.

Help please with suggestions or knowledge.

Thank you

Here is my class website. I have a list of both Reading and Math sites that I reccomend for my first graders. http://www.berkeley.k12.sc.us/webpages/skavanaugh/resources.cfm
Do you know what reading program the school uses? Many programs have websites that have games or other support materials. Does your child bring home decodable books? Is she having trouble actually reading or just comprehending? If she is having trouble reading I suggest working on sight words. Here are three great links. I know it really stinks that you have to do all this on your own, your child’s teacher should be providing you with some help.

Since you said your daughter is a kinisthetic learner I would suggest investing in the game Twister, sidewalk chalk, magnetic letters or some other letter tiles, play-doh, and index cards. You can do so much with these things. For Twister…you can make index cards or print some from one of the sites above and lay or tape them to circles on the mat. When you call a color combo your daughter has to read the word on the mat in order to move there. This can be done not only with just words, but also with other things like: contractions, compound words, letter sounds, words (ask for definition), setting/characters/plot (write those words on index cards & place them on the spots, then make up a quick little story only a few sentences and ask your daughter the setting if that’s the card on the spot) and much more. You can do the exact same thing with chalk making a hopscotch board. It’s also fun to write in chalk so you could spell words using chalk on black paper or on the sidewalk. Play-doh and magnetic letterrs will give your daughter a hands on way to practice building words or making words and practicing segmenting the word.

My last suggestion is getting teachers resource book with poems. I have a sight word poetry book and another which I blow up to poster size. We practice one poem a week. We find special words or rhymes, look at punctuation, and make movements to the poem. By practicing over and over again you are building fluency.

Good luck! I hope some of these ideas are helpful! :)

Preschool home school questions?

Posted by admin on October 31st, 2009 and filed under preschool websites | 8 Comments »

I stay home with my 3 year old daughter. Before I had her, I taught elementary school. She won’t be going to preschool until next year when she’s four. She has known her alphabet, how to count to 10 (now higher), could identify letters, shapes, since before she turned two. Now she is starting to sound out words (she’s beginning to try I should say) and has memorized a few sight words. I don’t do anything "formal", we just read a lot and have been teaching her things since she was a baby. Now I’m thinking that I’d like to do something like a home school preschool. Nothing intense, just an hour a day of lessons, at the most. I never taught preschool aged kids before so I’m a little unsure of what I should be covering. I’d love for her to be able to read upon entering kindergarten.
Do you know of a daily routine I could follow?
Do you know of any good preschool websites?
Any other advice for me?

Thanks a lot!

teach other things like writing (other than just say it and recognise it),sing some education songs like ABC’s, Baa Baa Black Sheep, How Is The weather etc to improve her IQ.

dont just using books. let her watch more education and more talking cartoons like Postman Pat, Dora The Explora, Diego etc (no Pingu! this cartoon teach them nothing but being speechless like Pingu, The Penguin)

other than that, teach her like shapes, colours (using the colour pencils etc), animals, vegetables, fruits etc.

just ask the people in the book store and u will see.
