My child is very bright, why are they struggling with handwriting?

Scribble 2 Script
First of all, children who are bright try to write as fast as their minds are thinking and many times they lack the fine motor skills needed for writing. In most instances, these children have had fine motor difficulties from the beginning that may or may not have been addressed.

PartnersTX Resources: Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disord...
Yes. Intelligence and AD/HD are separate. It is possible to be intellectually gifted and have AD/HD, too. However, AD/HD may impact academic performance. When a child is identified as both gifted and as a child with AD/HD, this is often called twice exceptional. School accommodations may be appropriate.

Why is handwriting an important part of my child's education?

Scribble 2 Script
Handwriting is an important skill for school-aged children who need to produce fluent and legible writing for expressing, communicating and recording ideas. It is estimated that 25-50% of the day is allocated to paper and pencil activities involving drawing and writing. Children who struggle with handwriting cannot finish assignments on time and may try to use as few words as possible. When a child has to focus on the mechanical aspect of writing they cannot attend to cognitive content.

Back to topShould my child repeat a level if he/she is struggling?

Shurley English Home School
First, your child needs time to adapt to a new curriculum. If you have chosen a level at or below the child's grade level, you should have no trouble making a few adjustments to get your child back on track. This curriculum gives you the flexibility to slow the lessons down at the beginning (take two days instead of one to finish a lesson). If your child is still struggling after eight weeks in this curriculum, you may need to choose a lower level until the child is comfortable.

Daily reading of at least 30 minutes is recommended.

My child has always been struggling in math. Will abacus math help?

IQabacus Math
Yes. Since school math is taught in a totally different way from the abacus math, poor math performance at school does not infer the same result from learning abacus math. Abacus presents multi-digit numeric relationships in a concrete bead-based system. Using an abacus, young children are easy to relate number values and comprehend the concepts of mathematics. Therefore, the abacus math is far more superior to regular math that is presented to children in an abstract form.

My child learns handwriting in school, why would they need to come to Scribble 2 Script™ ?

Scribble 2 Script
Handwriting is a vital tool to communication and learning in the classroom yet many schools no longer teach handwriting as part of their curriculum. Emphasis is placed on state mandated subjects such as reading and math, and without proper instruction in handwriting, children’s letter formation is often inefficient.

What if my child is dyslexic or dyspraxic and really bright?

Fairley House School Frequently Asked Questions
In order to come to the school children have to be of at least average intelligence. Often they are well above average with IQs in the high or exceptionally high range. We deal with this by ability grouping for many subjects. Children can be in top groups or, for instance, a top Maths group and a low Reading group if that fits their profile. Where subjects are taught to a mixed ability group, questioning and work are differentiated so that bright children are always extended.

Acting Creatively with Kerry Lea
Your child is probably awesome! Very verbal, memorizes songs and lines from movies, and very out going...? If you feel that your little one would enjoy show business and do well with commercials, etc., you can submit their pictures to agencies. Unfortunately, though, I do not work with such young kids. I love to spend time with them, but what we do here really benefits kids who are a bit older. Agents love to meet little kids who will go in and just be themselves.

Do bright lights prevent crime?

CRL Frequently Asked Questions
Answer: No. Many studies on this subject have been performed over the years but no scientific study has ever successfully indicated that light alone can prevent crime. Some studies indicated the nature of crime patterns changed right after lighting was added or increased but then returned to its previous state before the lights were installed. Well lit public places make people feel safer when glare is kept to a minimum.
