100 Traditional School Skills You Can Teach Your Child at Home

100 Traditional School Skills You Can Teach Your Child at Home.  Want to take your children education to the next level, looking to help them at home with skills, which will come handy throughout their life?  Education priorities move about every decade or so. You may notice that homework is out one year, in another; learning phonics is big for some teachers, others like to stress sight words; a district might advertise its enriching foreign language, art, or music programs one year and drop them to concentrate on the basics the next. The new Common Core recommendations introduce innovations in evaluation nationally, such as rewarding the ability to process rather than focusing primarily on coming to an accurate conclusion. 

 

I would like to build this as a community page where parents like myself can add as many tips as possible. One central location to have listing of as many tips as possible to help people. Pitch in please.

Tip 8 - Memorization is the key all the way to all A's

Published:  | Submitted by Kent Marcoux | permalink

Memorization

Educator programs have long stressed the importance of Bloom's taxonomy, where students move from lower to higher levels of learning through the stages of knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. Schools often promote themselves as valuable in helping students at the higher levels, and may short change the necessary level of knowledge in their eagerness to be seen as teaching synthesis or evaluation. A solid factual understanding of the world is necessary for kids to be able to move on to comprehension or application. Memorization can be a part of acquiring this base. Start with quotes (nursery rhymes, famous sayings or quotations, poem fragments), lists (U.S. presidents, countries or states and capitals, parts of speech), or visuals like maps or charts.
