If they are too easy there is no way for me to know if she really understands or if she can just do easy problems. For history I make questions based off what I have read from the textbook. I pull out the key information. We also do social studies and geography. I make questi
Great review. I wish I knew about these when my kids were small!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I think these have really helped her since she was a late talker.
