  1. I have a second grader and we do something very similar to what you have listed.

     

    I have found that slow and steady will win this race. As I add in a little more and a little more, my kiddos gain the necessary skills to become great writers.

     

    The thing about ps is that you have to put blinders on. Don't worry about what they are doing. Even though the kids can get words on paper, it doesn't always translate into the desired results in the long run.

     

    You are doing just fine!

  2. Is it possible for you to weave her spelling words into your other daily work? As a way of reinforcing her use of them? For example would it help if you chose five of her previous spelling words each day to use in her journal writing. If it is repetition she is needing, you could also make flash cards for each spelling list and give her a quick test on five words a day.

     

    If she could have the opprotunity to continue to use the new words, it could help in solidifying them in her long term memory.

  3. Hi,

    My DS (11) and DD (9) take piano, and have been for about a year now. We didn't look around when we started, so now I am curious as to what qualifies a good piano teacher. What are important things for them to learn? Should they be learning scales? My kids aren't.

     

    I have no clue how to evaluate what constitutes quality music lessons.

     

    Thanks,

  4. I have used it with multiple children (2). When we began, we spent the first 2 weeks reviewing the info and giving me an idea of their strengths and areas of weakness.

     

    After that I just used the suggested teaching sequence to determine how to proceed. HTH
