No skill shapes a child's future success in school or in life more than the ability to read.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
What makes a child gifted and talented may not always be good grades in school, but a different way of looking at the world and learning.
I can't promise that every child with learning differences will become a novelist, but I do think all children can become lifelong readers.
Children have to be motivated to want to learn to read. Reading must not be taught simply as a school exercise.
Obviously, every child should be given the best possible opportunity to acquire literacy skills.
It is probable that there is no one thing that it is of eminent importance for a child to learn.
Not every child learns the same way. I could not learn through my eyes. Reading was impossible. Math, to compute it in my mind, was impossible. I learned everything through listening.
Education... has produced a vast population able to read but unable to distinguish what is worth reading.
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
A child's learning is a function more of the characteristics of his classmates than those of the teacher.
Kids can learn a lot by seeing things rather than reading it.
