This is my typical Lauren. They say a picture is worth a thousand words. She has this disposition lately that work is really hard to do and often wants me to help her color, even though it is one of her favorite activities.
It has been noted by family members that she has a hard time answering questions on the spot, and has a hard time sitting down during quiet reading times. She is learning in her own right, but has a hard time staying with a group of children her own age. This is especially true at church in her Primary classes. Often her teacher asks me if I have noticed her ADD like symptoms and encourages me to do something to help Lauren, mostly because she knows that I am really envolved in their childhood, and I want what's best for them.
Today, we went to the library. Lauren had a hard time sitting still at the table and listening to me read to all of my girls. After we got home, I gave her some SPARK and she sat down quietly to look at a book by herself for 15 minutes. This was an awwwhhh hhaaa moment for me. We have a long way to go.
I hope this will help her be more courageous in her learning skills and help her learn her letters and numbers easier, also I hope it helps her see the letters for more than just symbols and put them together to help her create words. Today she asked how to spell mom and dad, and went around singing M O M is mom and D A D is dad.
So far I am pleased with this, though not sold completely on this product for helping her long term. we shall see.
