As a parent, you can help your child cope with these deficits and meet the challenges school creates.

ADD / ADHD school support strategy 1: Communicate with school and teachers As a parent, you are your child’s advocate. Plan ahead.

Key findings from the MetLife survey include the following: The Obama administration's A Blueprint for Reform (U.S. Limitations Who are diverse learners?

Six Syllable Types Six written syllable-spelling conventions are used in English spelling. These were regularized by Samuel Webster to justify his 1806 dictionary's division of syllables. The conventions are useful to teach because they help students remember when to double letters in spelling and how to pronounce the vowels in new words. The conventions also help teachers organize decoding and spelling instruction. Warm-up: Why double? Read this fascinating tale. Thunker's pet cats, Pete and Kate, enjoyed dining on dinner. What do you notice about the vowel sounds that come before the doubled consonants? Why teach syllables?
