So if we were at home, I would sit with her and do some flashcards, then after I would dictate some words (or sounds) for her to write down...kind of like a spelling test. We probably did "tests" like this once a week. I would always throw in a word that I knew she didn't know, but should be able to sound out. Most of the time, after I said a word...that she didn't know, she would give me that "huh" look, but I'd tell her to just sound it out like the sounds in her sounds cards. I'd say, 8 out of 10 times she was able to do it correctly.<br /><br />Anyone else do anything similar with their kids?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08121457922941192306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316765421340036602.post-247981871639272562013-06-11T15:51:21.997-07:002013-06-11T15:51:21.997-07:00I taught my daughter how to read the summer after ...I taught my daughter how to read the summer after kindergarten. In kindergarten, they learned about 30 sight words, but I think the focus was learning the alphabet and the sounds that each of the letters make, as well as how to print all the letters. <br /><br />Btw: I read Why Johnny Can't Read, and got a lot of my ideas from that book...look it up, it's a great book.<br /><br />I started off making sure my daughter knew all of the letters of the alphabet, could reproduce all the consonant sounds, could make all the short vowel sounds, and could print all of the letters (upper and lower case). When I was sure she knew all the sounds, then I started teaching her how to put the sounds together reading CVC (consonant-vowel-consonant words: e.g. cat, dog, hat, bat, etc). I started with the A's, then the E's, then the I's and so on. <br /><br />After about two weeks (3 to 4 times a week), when she was fairly comfortable reading short 3 to 4 letter words, but her sound blending was a bit choppy, so I created a set of flashcards I called her "sounds" cards. Each card had a letter combination that created a sound that I wanted her to learn. Sample cards would be: bl, cl, st, nd, spl, cr, ab, nt,ing. We made maybe 30 or so cards, and kept adding to them. At the end of the summer I think she probably had 150 of those cards with different letter combinations.<br /><br />These cards helped with her sound blending immensely, but better than that, it helped her learn how to spell words that she had not been introduced to yet (by sounding the letters out the letters of the word). <br /><br />Of course this didn't help with correctly reading/spelling oddball words that followed special phonics rules, so we created another set of flashcards for those sight words.<br /><br />So she had two small binders of index cards: one for her sounds, and one for her sight words. And I would bring them with us everywhere, and I would have her pull them out whenever she had a free moment (like when at a restaurant waiting for our food, or standing in line in the grocery store, or sitting in the car while we drove somewhere).<br /><br />She's just finishing 1st grade now, and she's never missed a spelling word all year. Now that I'm learning a lot about SRS (spaced repetition software), I'll probably set up a couple of decks for her to review this summer!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08121457922941192306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316765421340036602.post-6479831207848190202012-10-29T09:11:28.796-07:002012-10-29T09:11:28.796-07:00Using flashcard app on our mobile is great.

I found I benefited significantly from merely generating the flash cards on my own, which is reflective of my learning style. I have used the learning strategies embedded in the software to review material, which includes a way of scheduling flash card appearance dependent upon prior ability to recall. Although it uses a spaced repetition approach, it has different strategies, e.g. for long-term retention vs. short-term cramming.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14314575570708779533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316765421340036602.post-17719397742654132152012-10-17T17:13:20.287-07:002012-10-17T17:13:20.287-07:00@Harrison Grieve: I believe that the benefit is th...@Harrison Grieve: I believe that the benefit is the fact that it is a reward.

But if you develop something effective, I'll be happy to be a customer.<br /><br />I think that different kids will want different rewards. An audiobook would work for my son. Casual games like Angry Birds could work for another kid. Yet another might like youtube videos.<br /><br />@Casey: Good luck. It was just untenable for me to have the child care responsibilities, the commute, and a full time job. I'm now working part time, doing stuff that I enjoy more, and creating easily measured value. Much better for me overall.<br /><br />Note, at Google I worked with another Casey, whose wife I was responding to in another forum, so it took me a bit to figure out which Casey you were.Ben Tillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335648152419715383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316765421340036602.post-60802279833686398742012-10-17T16:44:41.999-07:002012-10-17T16:44:41.999-07:00Awesome post Ben.

Most of the activities we do together now focus on vocabulary and enumeration, and some Spanish (English is her first language, but her mother is bilingual).<br /><br />I would love to work on this app with you, if you reach that point. I'm an accomplished Web developer, but I'm beginning to prototype mobile apps, and hope to have one in circulation by next year.

With that said, I had a question: Do you think that the benefit of the reward system comes from the reward itself, or the fact that the reward provides that parent-child interaction that we already know has huge benefits psychologically? <br /><br />In my opinion, this is probably the most important aspect of the system such that it's obviously much harder to automate if the reward is the interaction, rather than the reward itself.Harrison Grievehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11078252065715957688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316765421340036602.post-7720027938131625042012-10-17T10:26:25.772-07:002012-10-17T10:26:25.772-07:00@btilly - fair enough.

It keeps me from having huge piles of flash cards, don't have to write anything out by hand, and the program I'm using allows me to put the front and back in excel spreadsheets and import the data in. Might be helpful in your intermediate step cards!<br /><br />If you have access to a tablet device, I'd suggest using that as there is more real estate (and if you're entering the flashcards on the device it's a hell of a lot easier). <br /><br />Just some thoughts, well done!

My need for manual review of what he was doing lead me away from trying to automate it. I am still working on handwriting issues, and don't want to have a computer present, so Anki does not seem like a fit yet.<br /><br />If Anki could be integrated into some kind of reward activity (like an audio book), it would be a perfect thing for him to graduate to once I am entirely happy with his handwriting.<br /><br />@wabby: I briefly did a similar thing with just word recognition in kindergarten. It worked, but did not last. As in the first iteration of the current system, it was work and the reward of having learned was not enough to motivate doing it every day.Ben Tillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335648152419715383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2316765421340036602.post-60303592524012369522012-10-17T08:57:43.071-07:002012-10-17T08:57:43.071-07:00You should take a look at memrise.com.
