Mogul's literacy investment paying off |
|
|
|
For Lester Fisher, it was a first,
and a small sign of progress: Parents stopped him in the grocery store
to talk about their children's love of books.
"Our kids really don't come from a literature-rich environment," said
Fisher, principal of Nailor Elementary -- considered the poorest school
in this Mississippi Delta town. "Many of our children really don't have
the bare necessities at home."
Nailor Elementary is one of 71 schools across the state seeing the
benefits of literacy help offered by Barksdale Reading Institute, a
computer mogul's ambitious program.

My child’s teacher
said to get some magnetic letters… now what do I do with them?
You went to the store, you 
bought a box of magnetic letters, you put them on the fridge in ABC order,
your child sings the song and “knows” them all. Now what?
They already seem to know all their letters!
It is very useful for your child to learn songs or rhymes to help them
remember things, but do they know the same information without the song
or in isolation? (example: all the letters mixed up). In this guide you
will find a list of things to do that will help your child learn how to
identify letters, learn how to spell words, and learn how to make new
words from words they already know.

How can I
help my child at home to learn their letters?
For some children, the process of learning the alphabet is very difficult. 
They have a lot of trouble “remembering” letters and the sounds
that they make. Sometimes children need fun ways to practice the letters
that are hard for them to learn. One way to learn the alphabet is to play
letter games. It is always easier to learn something “tricky”
if we can play a game!
