My son's class is over filled, under staffed and he isn't getting any one on one attention at school. When I work with him at home doing his homework, he gets angry w/me and it all seems to just go in ear and out the other. I've been told that he's one of, if not, the smartest children in his class however he does need help from time to time in understanding things. Any idea how I can make homework more fun or get him to start paying attention.
Additionally, they are now teaching the kids to read using "sight words" instead of phonics. This means that he memorizes the words that are given to him weekly but doesn't know how to sound out a word in a sentence that he doesn't know. Sight words verses phonics is just confusing him even more..........PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks,
