We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: TIPS with Reading! Author: Deborah Whiteley [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 06:03:32 02/15/11 Tue Some great pointers to stimulate a 7 yr old with reading and spelling Give clues - Sound out the first letter as a clue for some of the words. Doubting yourself? Go back to the GOLDEN RULE! Make letters from cookie dough then share them or eat them, make short words with them. Our daughter loves eating the letters afterwards. She even makes her own games up from her plate now, spaghetti being the most enjoyable and pliable for writing short words then eating them. This has also led onto number work and measuring for recipe quantities - less pressure than in the classroom but so relevant for getting quantities correct, otherwise the cookies just don't taste as good!
