ACL: Improving Reading Comprehension

5/22/2019

0 Comments

 
Picture
When children are first learning to read we are very focused on them learning their letter sounds, blending, and beginning to read words independently. As a child’s word reading improves, we want to ensure that they are attaching meaning to the words, phrases and sentences that they are being exposed to. The process of understanding what you are reading is referred to as reading comprehension.

For this week's episode we are going to look at how you can help develop your child's comprehension skills at home.

Book of the Week: You are a Badass

5/22/2019

0 Comments

 
You are perfect. To think anything less is as pointless as a river thinking that it’s got too many curves or that it moves too slowly or that its rapids are too rapid. Says who? You’re on a journey with no defined beginning, middle or end. There are no wrong twists and turns. There is just being. And your job is to be as you as you can be. This is why you’re here. To shy away from who you truly are would leave the world you-less. You are the only you there is and ever will be. I repeat, you are the only you there is and ever will be. Do not deny the world its one and only chance to bask in your brilliance.”

BOok of the Week: Americanah

I have been a fan of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie for many years. Her Ted Talk that highlights The Danger of a Single Story, is one that gripped me from the time I heard it. 

Although I have watched many of her talks, this is the first of her novels I have read. It certainly did not disappoint! 

In Americanah, we follow the life of Ifemelu, a Nigerian woman who immigrates to the United States in her college years. Adichie takes the reader through this experience that is full of the joys and challenges of love, race, and immigration in America.

Ifemelu later returns to Nigeria and a special romance is rekindled, but not without the challenges that are a symptom of the many years they have spent apart. This week's read is a change of pace! Enjoy.

Competition is a part of our everyday life. It’s not something that we can escape. There is competition in schools, competition in the workforce, competition on the soccer field etc, but what about competition in education? Do our kids thrive when we have competitive classrooms or when we compare their abilities to their classmates or family members?

For this week’s episode of A Child’s Life, we are going to talk about competition in education and the benefits of moving towards collaboration.

Book of the Week: Year of Yes

5/7/2019

“Lucky implies I didn’t do anything. Lucky implies something was given to me. Lucky implies that I was handed something I did not earn, that I did not work hard for. Gentle reader, may you never be lucky. I am not lucky. You know what I am? I am smart, I am talented, I take advantage of the opportunities that come my way and I work really, really hard. Don’t call me lucky. Call me a badass."

I liked and admired Shonda Rhimes before this book, but she was elevated to a whole other level after this book. This week’s book is from my ‘campfire story teller titan friend.’ I love listening to her so much, that I also have this book on audio for when I need some one to one time with Shonda!

I
n 'The Year of Yes - How to Dance It Out, Stand in the Sun and Be Your Own Person' Shonda Rhimes Chronicles how her life changed the year that she decided to say YES. This intimate, hilarious, heartfelt book allows us to get to get to know Shonda and inspires us to say YES to changing our lives for the better.

ACL: Improving Your CHild's Memory

It’s quite common for ‘memory’ and ‘retention’ to come up in consultations I have with parents at the Center.

​“Mrs. Rob, I don’t know what is, but it’s like he just doesn’t remember what he is learning. He has it one day.. or I he does and then he's forgotten it by the next day! BUT, when it comes to  video games, he remembers everything!”

Does this sound familiar? For this week's episode we are going to spend some time talking about how you can help your child improve their memory.
