I am thrilled with his progress. His reading has improved beyond belief. His printing and spelling have improved too. |
I can't read very well and find it hard to write. I have more patience, understand more. I've grown up towards her.
|
You gain confidence in yourself when you know you're going about it the right way and he (the child) feels this too. |
I have found it a worthwhile, interesting and very educational course. The results with reading and the general interest in books has been tremendous. |
Andrew was almost showing off when we came home from the second workshop because he was so happy that he had been able to read so many books to me.
|
After attending one session, my daughter realised that there were many other children who needed help too. She was much happier and did not feel so isolated. |
John's reading for sense and correcting his mistakes now - his reading is more flowing and not so slow and painful. It's not a tedium to listen to him any more - it's quite a pleasure really - I've shown his grandma how to help him too. |
(I have learned that you) need time and patience and it's not necessary to be a reading scholar to help him. That it can be a time of enjoyment and closeness with your child. |
She seems more confident in all of her school and social activities. |
He seems to be tackling more things with confidence because he feels better that he can read. |
They (my children) feel happier to read. Reading actually used to upset them. |
Hubby said that he hasn't heard me slapping him (the child) lately. |
(His reading has improved because) knowing that I know how to go about teaching him properly whereas before if he couldn't do it properly I'd just be jumping up and down, and that was just making him worse. |
I have learned to be more relaxed in my approach to the reading problems and not to be so uptight. This in turn has helped to relieve the pressure. |
It has made him feel important and that his teachers care enough to help Mum and Dad help him. Thank you for the time and care you have taken. |
Yes, emphatically there is a need for this type of programme for parents. The skills I've gained are very important and I'm sure they would be to other parents. I will be able to help when needed not just for my own kids. |
