![]() Take Jim & Elena's children as an example: their oldest child, Raine, was reading phonetically at 2 years 11 months old, and by the time she entered kindergarten at 5 years old, she was reading at a grade 5 level with a reading age of 11.9 years - almost 7 years ahead of her chronological age. The Children Learning Reading program works so well that many children will achieve reading ages far ahead of their chronological age. > Click here to watch amazing videos of young children reading, and see the amazing results so many parents are achieving with their children. Through their amazing reading program, the creators (Jim & Elena - parents of 4 children and reading teachers) have taught all of their children to read phonetically by 3 years old and have helped thousands of parents to successfully teach their children to read as well! Some are small 2 or 3 year old toddlers, others are young 4 or 5 year old preschoolers, and still others at ages 6, 7, 8 or even older. At the end of the 7 year study, the children were reading 3.5 years ahead of their chronological age. The results found that the synthetic phonics group were reading 7 months ahead and spelling 8 to 9 months ahead of the other phonics groups. ![]() In a 7 year study conducted by the Scottish Education Department, 300 students were taught using either analytic phonics or synthetic phonics. While using some type of phonics is better than not including any phonics instructions at all, you will achieve FAR BETTER results by employing synthetic phonics, which is by far the most easy and effective method for teaching reading. Certainly, phonics is absolutely necessary to develop fluent reading skills however, there are different types of phonics including embedded, analogy, analytical, and synthetic phonics. Most have probably heard of phonics, but phonemic awareness is a concept less well known and ?it's not something you hear about often. It is the combination of synthetic phonics and phonemic awareness. The combination of these two methods has been used in the Children Learning Reading program to successfully teach thousands of young children to read. ![]() There is an amazingly simple method - actually, a combination of two methods - that can teach anyone to read, even children as young as 2 and 3 years old. Learning to read is a critical step towards future academic success and later on success in life. There are many different methods and opinions on how to teach a child to read - while all are well-intentioned, some methods could actually lead to reading difficulties in children.

Once I have done all the above - in this page I can see a general overview, when I need to rent a car, where I will be tired from an overnight train and need to put the next morning as “rest” for example. Comments are any other things that I must know at a glance. Transport is where I would put information such as: self-drive, flights ETA, train or other relevant mode of transport. I have a night row to be able to add either the city where the night will be spent or if I have to take an overnight bus or train. I try to plan per half days or full days (then I merge the cells together). I would just put lists of visits & sights to see in morning, afternoon and evening to see how busy my days are. Then, the following details per day: Morning, afternoon, evening, night, transport and comments.

Then I start searching, searching and searching the internet with key works such as: itinerary, road trip, one week in, two weeks in etc. Sometimes their itineraries are great and suit my needs, and sometimes it will be the “what I should avoid list” to stay off-the-beaten track. This way I have a rough idea of names of places, where most of the tourists go. It’s also great because you can buy just the chapters that you need on their shop in digital format so I can have them with me to work wherever I am on my iPad Pro (see how I turned mine into a blogging station).

In step two, Acorn Press will request you to complete its Manuscript Proposal Form if it finds your summary to be of interest. This summary needs to be emailed to and addressed to Kristin Argall, Deputy Editor of Bible Society Australia. Acorn Press advises you to treat this summary as a book pitch, or the blurb on the back cover that explains what readers will learn from you book and what benefit they would gain from it. Step one involves you forwarding a short summary of your book (200 words maximum). The submission process used by Acorn is split into three steps. Acorn Press is currently publishing primarily nonfiction and topics of books it is looking for include bible studies, evangelism, biographies, mission histories, pastoral care, Islam and other religions.

In this scenario, an elementary school teacher who uses blended learning in their literature class wants students to share their lessons learnt as homework. Scenario 2: using a Forum to motivate young students Depending on the learning goals of the course this activity could be set up to have an impact on the final score or not. By using this type of Forum with date restrictions, the teacher guides learners to act within a time frame and length, while giving them the ability to express themselves using various means of expression, either by taking advantage of the ATTO editor or by allowing attachments. To grade this activity, the teacher can go into each of the discussions, see the content -including the word count- that the students provided, and then easily assign each submission a rating between 1 and 10. The word count lets them know whether the length of their reply is adequate, and they can add up to three attached files (images, videos, or other) to support their message. The learning experience: When students access the Forum activity, they can see the due date and completion criteria (to start one discussion), as well as clear instructions of the content they have to provide. In the activity description, the teacher gives details of what they expect the students to post. And finally, the teacher sets a grading scale from 1 to 10. ![]() ![]() They also set the completion criteria so that when a student starts one discussion, the activity is automatically marked as ‘Done’. Moodle Forum type: Each person posts one discussion (you can read more about forum types in this past blog )įorum settings: the teacher sets due and cut-off dates, allows forum posts to contain at least 3 attachments and sets up a word count. The teacher wants to implement a flipped class method, where learners have to do their own research and then explain their findings in the forum. In this scenario, we’re at a college where Physics class is offered online. Scenario 1: using a Forum for summative or formative assessment in a flipped classroom In this blog, we’ll go through three different scenarios: one for a higher education setting, one for elementary school and one for workplace learning. Moodle Forums are easy to set up, and the different types of forums and their settings can be combined to provide very different learning experiences. The Forum activity in Moodle is a tool for communication and collaboration that allows learners and educators to exchange ideas by posting comments in a thread. This month, we look at another Moodle activity that allows for summative and formative assessment: Moodle Forums. In a previous blog, we looked at how Moodle’s Assignment activities provided many possibilities for summative and formative assessment. ![]() Moodle Academy looks at scenarios on the use of Moodle Forums, a discussion board activity, for summative and formative assessmentĪnna Krassa, Education Advisor at Moodle Academy ![]() While they’ve been ignored so far, the Division Operations buildings can be useful here.

While reaching a Dinosaur Rating target may seem reasonable, it can take much longer than you've encounter so far. Remember that everything is going to take longer in this mode.
