Questions parents often pose to the educators at Child & Family Development in Charlotte:
1. Should my child feel frustrated because he is not reading? After all, he is just a beginning kindergartner. Reading is such a critical component of a child's development. It is the key to unlocking the mystery of independent learning. Children who feel frustrated in their desire to learn the alphabet, remember their birthday, recall their phone number, or write their name can be at risk for experiencing continued frustration when they enter kindergarten. Frustration can often thwart a child's quest to acquire the keys to unlock the fun of reading. Too much frustration makes learning to read not much fun.
2. Is early reading intervention really important? Early intervention can be worth a pound of cure later on. Accomplishing some early reading skills before school begins has recently helped a little kindergarten-aged boy feel empowered. Mastering jobs such as learning his phone number, memorizing color words, and sounding out words has convinced him that he can and will learn to read and write. He is recognizing his own learning pace, is learning what it means to work hard and handle some appropriate frustration and is experiencing delight in his personal learning-to-read accomplishments. His mom is also delighted as she reports he finally learned his phone number- a wish of hers and a task he was reluctant to attempt with her.
3. How can an Educational Specialist help your child? Keeping learning fun while helping your child explore and understand how he or she learns is what an educational specialist will do for your child. As educational specialists, we are not tutors; rather, our approach at Child & Family Development begins with the data we have collected from our diagnostic assessments. Educational Specialists will pinpoint your child's academic/ learning strengths and weaknesses. Through education therapy, we teach kids how to overcome their learning differences, teach them how to work differently not necessarily harder and most importantly teach them how to show their accomplishments to others. Once your child begins to feel successful, learning becomes fun and exciting just as this little kindergarten fellow has found out!
