Everyone has been extremely helpful. My daughter is missing the basic skills, and I'm not sure how. Perhaps, I wasn't asking the right questions during the parent/teacher conferences. They all assured me that she was doing well. Her school is using Eureka math and the books that I have purchased for her are too difficult. I just ordered some easier books to help with fluency. I think if she can get the fluency down then she will be able to comprehend what she is actually reading. I will read the more difficult books to her. She is also missing basic phonics. I have the Ordinary Parent's Guide to Teaching Reading. I hope that helps. Thanks so much! I have learned a lot about different ways to approach teaching these skills to my daughter.

Hi, Heigh. Are you saying she should read the dictionary? Or, use it for writing? Thank you!!

Thank you so much for suggesting the Blue Math Mammoth books. I just purchased a few of the basics. It's a great start because my daughter is lacking the basic math skills, which is making things difficult for her because she has to use her fingers to count.

Hello. I'm new to this forum. I joined because I need to help my daughter who is in the fourth grade. School has been in session for two weeks and she is already struggling and crying about it. She fears that she is not going to be able to grasp the mathematical concepts and is concerned about her comprehending and remembering what she reads. I would like help putting together an after schooling curriculum to best support her. This is all very new to me and I honestly don't know what to do. She needs to focus on the basics then build from there. Any recommendations, suggestions, advice, and so forth?
