The Saxon math books were the best that I ever used. Doing 1/2 of a book ended up being the equivalent of 2 years in public schools. They are excellent in reinforcing what has already been learned so you don't forget it a day later!\n\nThe only way I was able to learn grammar was to teach it. If you have the older kids help the younger ones, they will end up learning and remembering far more since they have to apply their knowledge.\n\nReading the right books can teach them more than any multiple choice quiz they have to study for.\n\nDo not let them get away with skipping parts of exercises that they do not want to do and you do not want to grade anyway!\n\nGive the youngest ones learning activities at the same time so they feel like they are part of it and get into the habit of school time for when it is their turn. They will absorb more than you know of what they hear you teaching the older ones. My youngest brother can already read 2nd grade material and he is in kindergarten. But this is because he was allowed to actively participate in the learning activities.\n\nDo not try to teach them when they are hungry or tired!!!\n\nPerhaps most of all, do not underestimate your children. When they are being difficult or having a hard time grasping a concept, there is usually an underlying cause that has nothing to do with the subject matter.

Try this, but remember, teachers are getting smarter about plagerizing...if you copy it word-for-word, expect an F, but if you site the sources, this should help.

Not particularly well.\n\nWhen I was in school, we were taught phonics, sentence structure, etc.  The current way of teaching is called whole language learning.  They throw out the basics and try to teach kids by making them read then using what they read to teach them about the language.\n\nIt's not working.  You can't build a structure without a firm foundation and the schools are trying to hang diplomas on walls that are barely upright because they have no base.

Give them small pieces of text so that they may follow along as you read to them.  Ultimately, you will want them to take turns reading aloud.  I know this has gone "out of fashion" in the classroom, but it really works.  You will be modeling tone, cadence, pronunciation, etc.  I am currently teaching a literacy unit in a tenth grade classroom.  We do this every day.  This is what they were missing......

I have had great success with the Edmark Reading Program.  (You can just type that into a search engine & find the info.)  It is a very systematic approach, and within a few lessons, kids are reading short sentences.  I have had more than one child say, in pride and amazement, "I'm reading!  I'm reading!"  It gets them really jazzed about being a reader.\n\nEdmark is a sight vocabulary approach, which means that the students are not taught to sound out words but simply to learn to recognize them.  Many kids with special needs never become phonetic learners because of the complex sets of skills needed to blend the sounds and read the words.  But a good sight vocabulary can take a child quite a distance in reading.   And it does not at all preclude a child from learning to read phonetically as well, if he has the capability of doing so.  I have had several students with autism who began with the Edmark program and developed the self-image of being a reader and then went on to master the decoding skills of phonics.  These kids really have become fluent readers.   But even the kids who did not develop the ability to read phonetically still can enjoy reading with a good sight vocabulary.  And the Edmark is set up in such a consistent and predictable way that it is usually a very good fit for students with autism.\n\nWhen I was first introduced to the Edmark, I was not terribly impressed.  I was incredulous that the first word taught is "horse."  I thought that was a ridiculous choice of words.  But in the next few lessons (which are short and can usually be completed in 10 minutes or so), the kids learn words like "I," "see," "car," "a," "yellow," etc.  So they are quickly reading "I see a horse," or "I see a yellow car."  It's almost instant gratification.  So I am sold on it, at least as a tool to get most of my students started on the great adventure of becoming a reader.

Altavista.com has this thing called babblefish or something like that. I used it for French homework once. (you didn't hear that! *lol*) Admittedly, it sometimes translates things too literally, for instance it disregards French idioms, (that is, sayings that are phrased differently but mean the same thing) but for simple things, and single words, it works well. Good luck!

It's really just going to take a lot of practice.  Make sure that you use manipulatives, too, like having her add with real things, such as blocks, cereal pieces, etc.  Also, what may work better than flash cards is a math wall.  You put the problems on a wall somewhere where she can easliy see it, so she can always refer to it when she needs to.  Dont worry - eventaully, she'll get it.

Alphabet coloring pages, alphabet puzzles, alphabet picture books, pick a letter a week and tape the letter on objects in the house that start with that letter, ones that your child sees alot, each time you pass that object with him/her point it out, maybe harder with some letters than with others.

make any numbers that are visibly involved BIGGER so that they can't possibly be perceived as jumbled or confusing.  Use bright colors, make knobs bigger than usual, make words BIGGER than usual, makes sentences STAND OUT in VIVID colors, and if you can, try to use sound bytes as positive/negative reinforcement.  For instance, for a wrong answer or anything that is wrong, associate it with an immediate sound that relates only to the wrongs.  And for the right, let there be an immediate sound byte that is associated with the right answer, etc.  Good luck!

One of those products is called eye Q. Hooked on phonics teaches you how to read not how to read faster. Eye Q works on the premise that some people have trouble reading because their eyes need more exercise. They have a free trial check it out at the link.

I'm not from jersey, but why don't you talk to you daughters teachers they should have alot of information on this, also why not trying special education, they will be able to work one on one and can work at a slower pace for her, also try looking in a phone book for help, look on your computer for areas close to your home for help, hooked on phonics and no I'm not making fun. I hope this has helped you

Any phonics-based reading course will have phonology activities for elementary-school children.  I'm not familiar with the names of any phonology tests for kids off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are many of them.
