Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I’ve heard you can turn numbers into words to remember them, but every time I try I’m stuck looking up which sound goes with which digit, and the constant referring-back is so slow the whole thing falls apart before it helps.
- I thought I understood this until I tried to actually say it out loud
- The words I most need to learn are the abstract, slippery ones
- My child has gotten so used to being "the difficult one" that they act like it’s just who they are
- My textbook is a wall of yellow highlighter and it feels like I worked hard
