I just learned something new today....if a child doesn't know their colors it's a red flag regarding reading. The quote was " show me a child who doesn't know their colors, and I'll show you a child who can't read' or pretty close to that! I always wondered what the big deal was about colors in preschool ;-)

The above podcast is really loaded with more info then most of us can ingest in a day, but very well worth your time.

Another interesting tidbit that I find to be very true is they tell the kids to 'go home and study' but they don't tell them HOW. Seems like a no brainer to many, but not so for lots of us. was just asking me how to memorize algebra formulas and darn if I know!! I would just re-write them over and over till I had them, but he needs some different ideas. Its so true that we would do much better as parents and teachers if only we knew HOW the brain WORKS and different ways to input info.

Anyone know of some good books????

I followed a rabbit trail to this site- need to see if the library has any.
