  1. My 11 is doing a lego submission project and needs a (H) and (Z) letter connected for print on robot, board, and pamphlet. He just needs someone to impose the letter (Z) into the letter (H) right where the brigade of the H is. His robot is called HelperZoid =) thus the HZ logo. We have creative design studio and photoshop pro but can not figure out how to put the two letters together. Please let me know if you can help. I even tried to print both letters, cut and glue them, then scan to get the look. NO SUCCESS!! Anyone know how to get this done or can do for minimal fee. Do you know someone we can solicit help from? Any help/advice would be great. I was not sure where to post this so hope I found the right place.

  3. I looked into Sylvan and the class is to long with low results for him. He learns instantly (tell him once and he gets it) the repetitiveness causes him to stop listening and daydream.
  4. Thought I should move post over here because DS is 8 and I wanted someone to respond :) I am just frustrated with helping DS with reading. He reads below grade level (2.5 and should be 3 or higher) and forgets what he reads if it is at his level and more than 10 pages. When anyone else tells him something about decoding, etc he listens and retains the information instantly. Therefore, it is time to outsource reading because he is getting no where with me. I feel like this is my only option because reading is the foundation to everything, IMO. Local Reading Camp was a no-no because it was whole word approach and basically ignores all the phonics he has learned thus far. They said its only so such phonicetic lessons a person can have and the reason is memorization. Again DS is a fast learner and retains information instantly (long term), so I pulled him because he started reading and would skip the words he didn't know or replace the word with a word he did know. Is it possible to outsource Reading? He just doesn't want to learn to read from me (he is frustrated with me also). He enjoy every subject we do but reading, feeling is mutual. If like a bad mom because I can't teach my kid to read at his grade level and he has the capacity to learn to read pass his grade level. Please help us. How do I find someone to improve his reading? We're currently in S. California

  6. Thanks for the post. I just tried this with DD and :) SCORE! Now I can get back to using OPTGR. We stepped away from it because she was so bored and hated it.
  7. Thank you all! I truly thought I was failing some how. First thing Monday we will start anew and shelf Mary and Alice for now :)
  8. At what age do you read a classic to a child? Ex. Mary Poppins, Peter Pan, Alice In Wonderland, etc, My kids (ages 2,4,6,8) love the Velveteen Rabbit and Peter Rabbit:bigear: They run off or start chatting to each other (not about the book), or draw and write letters; whenever I begin to read Mary Poppins or Alice. I do have to stop and explain words but nevertheless they do not seem interested (even when I use the voices). I stop reading both after 3 chapters and no one has ask to finish it :confused: They begged me to finish a Magic Tree House, Hansel and Gretel and Rumplestilikin (original w/o pics). Is this the wrong age group to visit classics? Should I just continue reading despite what is happening around me? They are hearing parts of the story but not the details, should I start questioning them after every chapter? My goal is to expose them to all the literature classic through quality time read a louds. They are free to self read anything they want, just as long as they read; DS despise self reading time. Any suggestions?
  9. It's not just here but other sites also. It's frustrating! Sony's Network is completely down so ds can't watch netflix on tv. Rumor has it that major servers were hacked this week causing anarchy; down servers, website errors, release of personal information and emails. Just shows how much we depend on the internet, ten years ago who would have imagine that we would be so dependable on the web. BTW the Mods post HERE regarding problems on this board
  10. Reading Instructions (DS can't remember anything past section 13 in OPGTR) And Korean ~Qui
  11. How do you find a Skype tutor? Its time for me to out source two subjects but we can not leave the nest. I need a reading teacher to take over lessons for DS and a language teacher for DD dialect. Due to our schedule it would be great to have a online tutor for this, I figure its cheaper then having someone come over to do it. Thanks for any assistance. ~Qui
