My daughter completed 1st grade and was struggling with reading and math at home. I knew if we did not fix these problems now, the foundation to math and reading in 2nd grade would be broken. Throughout the summer, I noticed that reading comprehension was improving, sounding out words and blending word families were smoother. Then one day, she came home and was excited to complete a subtraction problem in her head and have a strategy that made sense.This brought tears to my eyes! Finally, reading and math were becoming easy and were being taught at her pace with individual attention.
