My 5-year-old daughter loves the Funnix lessons but struggles through the workbook parts. What can I do to speed the workbook activities up and make them less of a struggle?
My 5-year-old struggled through the workbook activities, too. His reading skills were developing much faster than his motor skills. He was able to perform all of the tasks, but he didn’t look forward to the writing tasks because they took so long for him to perform. Children’s writing skills improve slowly, with lots of practice. However, we don’t want the rate children’s writing skills improve to limit the rate their reading skills can improve. We also want to make sure that the lessons don’t become a drag. With slight modifications, you can present many of the workbook activities quickly and efficiently as oral reading and spelling activities. Later, you can present the activities as writing activities.
