Q: Dear Joy, Hi, I  am a single  mom  of a 5 year old little boy. He just started school in Sep. But he is having a hard time for learning the sounds of letter, also what the letters are and how to write the letters. Do you have any ides on how at home I can help him to learn this? He is also have a hard time learning how to match the number's with the pitcher that he has been asked to do. The school what him tested to be put into a smaller class that he can have one on one time with the teacher. Do you think that is a good thing to do to a 5 year that is just staring out?
Could you please help me? I have been trying all thing to him to like to learn please help. Thank you for your time. D."


A: Dear D., I'm sorry to hear about your son situation.  However, it's not the end of the world yet.  It's OK to let him take a test and go to smaller class that is more appropriate for him.  When he was a little younger, did you teach him at home at all? Did he attend preschool?  Did he know how to count from 1 to 10?  Did he get a chance to play letters or numbers when he was younger?  A lot of these got to do with how much he had to learn & expose to before he goes to school.

You do want the best for your son, don't you? Then please spend more time to teach him at home as well as talking to his teachers about him at school.  Taking a test is the best way to find out where he is about & they can placed him into the right class for his level.  You don't want your son to be behind & try to keep up with his classmate.  Once he's getting better, you can always ask the school to let him move up when he is ready & qualified.

Best wishes to you & your son.  Thank you for visiting our Web site.
