I'm curious to know how you are...Dear Curious,<br /><br />I'm curious to know how you are presenting the 3-period lesson. How many objects are you presenting? The most I would suggest would be 3 and if that doesn't work, I would try presenting only two. Also, it's important not to rush that the second and third periods. The first period may be repeated a few times before moving on the second period. The third period should be saved until you really know the child is ready. If the child makes a mistake at any time during the second or third period, thank him for the lesson and put it away. Do not correct or keep going. Start again at the first period another day. <br /><br />It is good to add variation to the lesson and I see you doing that with your extensions above. I would also add that it's important to follow the child. What is he interested in? Does he have trouble retaining information in lessons and subjects that interest him? If not, it may be that he simply is not ready. Minimize the frustration by presenting lessons that interest him and slowly go back and incorporate sounds, letters and numbers as he gains more confidence. You can also incorporate reading and writing depending on his interest. If he is interested in dinosaurs, for example, you may use the sound "duh" for dinosaur. You can count them, etc. This will appeal to his interest and he will want to learn more.

He is 4 and cannot retain the information (from period 2 to 3 or from daily lessons on the same numbers or letters). When the 3 period lesson does not what else can I do? (I have added matching pictures to sounds, quantities to numbers, tracing in the sand, writing on paper, etc...)Curiousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-501824432676733753.post-6202530836918547522011-11-13T11:30:36.051-08:002011-11-13T11:30:36.051-08:00was useful for doing my work :)was useful for doing my work :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
