Where Do I Begin With Deprived Children?

[Hasna]

aww, well I wouldnt say they are deprived, is it possible they just dont meet your expectations?

Unfortunately, I would have to say that I think they are. They don't get a lot of attention from their mom and up until now, the 12 year was responsible for way too much. They've probably never had a book read to them in their life. It's really rough in their household

first thing throw away the worksheets.

read to them several times a day. Do lots on hands on activites write letters in finger paint, color on plain paper, give them a spiral notebook. I have no idea why but kids love them and write all sorts of things in them. Paint... a artist has to sign their work... so good practice writing your name.

label things seeing the written word like door, truck, ball teaches them letters make words and words mean something.
