I like that you said a parent/teacher can spark interest in learning by presenting it in different ways! I will keep that in mind to any children I might be tutoring! Thank you!
I think you're under 18....or you were when you used IXL. Someone abused the use of it with you. I'm so sorry. It's like Accelerated Reader. There can be some good things about it, but the schools have not used it effectively and it's turned kids off.
safety item: how to identify a “safe” adult if they become lost in public (mom with kids, store employee, police, etc.) and what to share with them (I lost my mom, her name is ___, her phone number is ____, I last saw her _____, etc.)
My dad was left handed and only one of his 8 children is left handed. Unfortunately it was in that push to force everyone to perform right handedly. He is pretty ambidextrous now(in his 50's.)
Thank you!! Would this be more where your child should be towards the end of first grade? My son is a may baby (currently 6) and we are just starting first grade this upcoming school year.
My daughter flunked KINDERGARTEN. They don’t seem to be learning days of the week, calendar, weather, shapes, etc. She’s expected to write FULL sentences, count to 100, decompose numbers, and know 150 sight words! My poor girl now hasn’t had a great start with academics and doesn’t seem excited anymore.
I'm so sorry to hear that. It is true they do NOT let parents know this soon enough. Most children are capable of doing those things IF the parents know in advance. If the parents trust they will learn letters and sounds DURING kindergarten...then it gives them a late start. It would have to be a public campaign or something they advertise at the pediatrician's office so that parents know. I do not rely on the government for my children's education. My children joyfully learned to read without pressure. Public schools are set up like factories, and if you do research the history behind them, the big guys that owned the factories and had a stake in them heavily supported the idea of public schools as we know them because they needed factory workers. I urge you to look into homeschooling, a method that will fit your family (there are different ways depending on parent schedules)
They're supposed to know the basics before kindergarten. Counting to 20, shapes, colors, days of the week, reading, etc. You or your preschool failed your child, not the kindergarten.
No she did not song she just needs to go through it again because she's not ready and that's okay make sure she knows it's okay and sometimes people need a little more time
I am so sorry! Thats so sad! One of the true tragedys of this nation and out education dept! one of the reasons we are so far down on the education in the world! So many kids lose that zest for learning because its so hard that young all day to it and try and focus and remember everything! Then learn all the new information! Do you know Finland ( not sure if they still are) were top 3 in education! Because even though yes kids did start school around 5ish but not like our schools they played and learned how to get the social aspect down and learned through play and sclience like watching butterflies and learning about dirt by digging and things like that formal learning didnt start till age 7! And alot of Eureapeon countries like Germany dont even start any history classes till 6th grade! my kids started k=getting so bored! Learning the same thing in elementary! Try and be encouraging and find ways to make it fun and something she can enjoy! Good luck!
My daughter is failing in her grades and its really stressing me out....shes very much on her phone and shes not even making an effort in away to improve 😢😢...
@@misscabbydahir.GodsDaughter I’m so sorry to hear this. For the addiction reason (and also to avoid ideologies and porn) my 15 year old does not have his own phone. When he gets access to one, it won’t be his. It will be ours that he is borrowing for an event. I do not think much good comes from them. You are the parent and reserve the right to ground her from the phone if needed. Accept that role. It will be tough--oh, yes, tough!! But, if she can do better then you need to show her that you believe in her and free her from that addiction.
We liked IXL a lot in the beginning but the harsh grading system became more and more of an issue for our kids. We opted for other options and have tried out various resources. One that we really like is Beestar. They have really great math and reading problems and lots of great options for the kids to practice with.
Hi! I apologize. I don't currently have a website. Here is a playlist that will have everything you need if you have a little one. ru-vid.com/group/PLS3dNM_dk55ufYbJJg6PUz9xvirnGThyg&si=-kDqFY2c8gMu9IFO
It seems to me that some children understand things perfectly well, yet cannot explain them verbally. For instance, with oral communication, my adult nephew with Down's Syndrome has VERY limited verbal abilities (less than 50 words), yet he clearly understands and can act upon very complicated verbal instruction. I wonder if its a mistake to assume that a child isn't understanding their reading simply because they don't know how to reply to comprehension questions in the expected way.
Thanks for the video and sharing the free K5 resource. I'm teaching my 5 year old to read. We are homeschooling, so I guess level isn't as a big a deal... but at what point are kids supposed to be on 1st grade level? Is it when starting first grade or at the end of 1st grade?
You'll have to remind me what part you're talking about. It's been a while since I made this, and I can't sit and watch the entire thing to find the part to which you're referring. Thanks.
This has been very helpful and encouraging so thank you and your daughter for taking the time out to make the video. New subbie here 💖. Also, please don't mind mind some of the rude comments on here. You did great and it was very informative! I'll be checking out the resources you've provided.
Thanks for this video. It really helped me understand my daughter’s reading. Turns out she is doing good in her reading. I cannot wait to show her this video. Also, thanks for the helpful info and resources.
@@TheParentTeacherBridge You don't take constructive criticism very well do you? Surely you realize that a 17 minute video is not easy to watch when you have 6-year-olds running around. Please don't get me wrong, I really appreciate your attempt, however a nice tight informative package is definitely super helpful.
@@alexgibb8406 Ok. I'm still trying to understand. The "she" in "she thinks" is referring to whom? As far as the story, it is a "first grade level story." That being said, she was fluent and somewhat advanced. I probably said that somewhere in the video. I'd have to rewatch. Levels are arbitrary. It's a comparison of data with a bunch of children. Someone picked it at some point and said, "That's first grade. That's second grade," and so on.
What can I do when my 14 year old son in boarding school has more time to play football but less time to do science and maths practice and is failing with Ds and Fs and feels if he switch to arts options he will do better but wants to be a pilot
Well, unless he's going to be a football player for a living, I'd say he needs more time to do science and math. Have him interview someone who is a pilot so he can have them tell him he needs to work harder. If the school isn't teaching him well there may be online courses. . .
I am planning on homeschooling for the foreseeable future. My daughter is starting kindergarten next year and im focusing on that for now, and intend to do so through at least elementary school, but if life has taught me anything it's that I have no clue what the future holds so dont plan too far ahead.
I understand. It's good to know life is unpredictable. My oldest is now ending middle school grades and will be officially in high school next year. Because of homeschooling, we were able to use several classes for high school credit in 8th grade. The flexibility and customizable curriculum is extremely beneficial. Find a homeschool community!
