This will look like your child is forgetful, when they haven’t mastered the basics to understand new concepts. When children struggle with basic math concepts or number sense - think basic facts or identifying operations required in a problem-solving activity - they cannot learn additional math concepts to expand their knowledge. However, this is not an accurate reflection of their reading skills for understanding. Your child might seem fluent, making few mistakes and reading quickly. Difficulty reading leads to trouble with spelling and writing.

When a child struggles to read, they lack the necessary tools to understand simple questions, tasks and problems.

Without these skills, every core subject will suffer. There are three foundational concepts driving your child’s education: reading, decoding for understanding and number sense. Though it seems tedious, there are many simple ways to keep your children’s minds stimulated, ensuring they don’t fall too far behind by the time the school year starts.
