None of the Above

by Marble

Forcrying out loud we have debate about solid scientific models in this country, how can those percieving bias on the other side be considered in any way legitimate? I agree with Machiavelli, perception is reality. But that is only in politics because politics is artifice. It aims at misrepresenting the world. If you take that as the basis of your reality, then of course there is no objective perspective. What then is the point of communication? Solely bending others to your will?

I just printed out some flash cards: because I really need to work with Elena on her reading. She knows all the letters, and knows the sounds they make, and the basic gist of sounding out a word, but she has yet to really put the whole package together.

She brings home these little books from school that she is supposed to read to us, but she just memorizes them. Memorizing is a neat trick, and she's *very* good at it, but I want her to be able to read.

So I found an English word frequency list, and I printed off 21 4 x 6 cards with 84 point Arial words on them. I used the words at the top, omitting A and I, since those are too trivial to bother with. We'll see how this goes. I'll mark big colorful stars on the cards every time she gets one right. I see her on Tuesday, so we'll start then.
