I tutored a bright 5-year old Hispanic who was entering kindergarten and did not know letters, phonics, numbers, and had too short an attention span to listen to simple books. This is a motivated child with a father who does not read or speak English and a mother who returns home at 7:30 PM. Preschool would have helped. Secretary Duncan is backing technology. Have you considered using Livescribe digital smartpens to accelerate the learning of Hispanic children? The child would never miss a word of a teacher’s English lesson, or math lesson. Livescribe pens can be used to create interactive flash cards, and sound stickers for Word Walls. Store math and English exercises on the pen or on the computer for work at home. Send notes and school work home on the pen, or parent’s concerns to the teacher. Use Livescribe sound stickers to create interactive storybooks similar to Leapfrog Early Reader Story Books that the child can read alone. The child can learn while having fun!<br />The parent will never miss a thought in a conference or tutoring session Use Livescribe Digital Smartpen<br />Susan Coursey, Editor<br />http://digitalsmartpen.com/susan courseyhttp://digitalsmartpen.comnoreply@blogger.com
