dy after study shows thatmily, home, and community

the true drivers of a childsucation. Childrens readingres improve dramatically

when their parents are involvedin helping them learn to read.Statistics have demonstratedthat literate adults with a higher

level of education tend to becomemore productive citizens withenhanced social and economiccapacity in society. Theirchildren are also more likely to

be successful. Help build a solidfoundation for learning, readingand writing for your children inprimary grades.

Children need to be able to usetheir language skills to do morethan just answer questions orrepeat information. They need

to use language to describe,explain, retell, predict, problemsolve, interpret and plan. Howcan you nd the time to boostyour childs language skills? Itsvery simple!

The following household activitysuggestions take advantage ofthings you do everyday. Do youspeak another language? Theseactivities can be done in anylanguage and you are encouraged

to use your strongest language.You play an important role whenyou spend time talking with yourchildren.

INTRODUCE NEW WORDS

When you are making supper, askyour child to get you the spatulaout of the utensil drawer. Duringbath time, remind your child towash her shins, abdomen, palms,and dont forget her spine.

Need a task to keep your childoccupied? Have your child drawa picture of a room in the house.Have him draw in and label all ofthe things he can remember inthat room. Go beyond commonwords like happy, sad, big orlittle. Teach your child words likeexcited, frustrated, gigantic, andminiscule.

USE DESCRIPTIVE WORDS

AND PHRASES TO EXPANDLANGUAGE SKILLS

Cooking and baking togetherare great ways to learn namesfor ingredients as well as actionwords such as blend, stir,and mix.Play I Spy to teach describingwords.

e ancient Greeks consideredsic to be a math subject dealingh number relationships,

day, our schools focus on math,ence, and language, while timeless important subjects likesic and art is reduced.

rance Examination Boardnd that students involved insic programs scored 107 pointsher on SAT tests than studentso did not participate. Perhapsshould borrow the idea from

ancient Greeks that a music classis a math class. Heres how musicand math are connected.

COUNTING AND ARITHMETIC:Children around the world learnto count by singing and playingrhythm games that involvejumping in time with the beatof the song. Songs like One,Two Buckle my Shoe introducecounting and rhyming to youngchildren. Some songs that are funto sing like Ten Little MonkeysJumping on the Bed, are greatfor introducing small children to

subtraction.PATTERNS: When a non-musicianlooks at a piece of music, he seessymbols that have no meaning.But after some training, this sameindividual understands that the

symbols are arranged in repeatingpatterns that form the basis ofa song. After understanding thesymbols and patterns, he nds hecan play a melody.

It is the same way with math.Each symbol provides some

information needed to solvethe problem. Music and mathboth have repeating patterns. Inmath, students who can easilyrecognize patterns have aneasier time spotting the processneeded to solve an equation. Formusicians, recognizing repeatingpatterns makes it easier to playand memorize songs.

FRACTIONS: Each piece ofmusic is divided into measures

or bars that represent repeatingsegments of music. Each sectionis divided still further into smallerpieces called beats. These are allmathematical divisions of time.Notes are divided into fractionsas well. In a song with a 4/4 timesignature, whole notes takeup the whole four beats of ameasure. A half note takes up halfthat amount or only two beats.A quarter note is played for onefourth of the measure, and wecount it for one beat.

PROPORTIONS AND RATIOS:Pythagoras is familiar to highschool students taking algebraand geometry because they usethe Pythagorean Theorem inmath classes. Besides coming upwith a handy formula for ndingthe length of a third side of a righttriangle, Pythagoras also was theone who realized that the pitch ofa vibrating string is proportionalto the length.

$640,000 after 40 years, when

you reach 65 and are ready toretire. (Keep in mind that you

will be taxed on withdrawals.)

Now, though, suppose you wait

until youre 55 before you start

saving seriously for retirement.

If you put that same $3,000 per

year in that same IRA, earning

that same hypothetical 7%

return, youd only end up with

slightly more than $44,000 after

10 years, when you reach 65.And to accumulate the $640,000

you would have gotten after 40

years by contributing just $3,000

put in about $43,500 per year

for the 10 years between ages

55 and 65.

Clearly, its a lot easier to come

up with $3,000 per year than

$43,500. So, to accumulate

the resources you need for a

aboutwordsTHANKS

titude is a ne thing, and innor of the one holiday thatuses on gratitude, lets dip

toes into the etymology ofword thanks. It came to Old

glish through a heap of looselyted languages includingSaxon, German, Old Norse,

nish, and Old Frisian. We cansee the relationship with the

dern German word danke.

these terms shared the simpleaning, to thank. What I ndcinating is that the Proto-o-European grandmother of

these gratitude-expressingrds instead meant to thinkto feel. This might suggestt one must be thinkful iner to be thankful. The ipsideng that thinklessness causesnklessness.

hoping that youll takeme time to indulge yourself innkfulness and thankfulness,

expressions of gratitude.

DREAM

often, we authors areceived as dreamers. A look intomology, though, nds thatartsy writerly types arent they ones who take an occasionaloze. So do words.

en it comes to the wordam, some form of the meaningknow today existed in mostlanguages that led into Old

glish, but the written recordOld English only employs aaning of the word dreamthat

dont acknowledge at allay: make a joyful noise. Thetten record suggests that the

modern meaning of dreamtook aseveral-century snooze.

The word dreamoccurs with bothmeanings in Middle English, whichsuggests that both meaningswere present in Old English, butone of them somehow avoidedthe printed page till the darn-close-to-contemporary year of1179.

Along the way, there are somegreat tweaky meanings for dreamand its cognates, which includebut arent limited to:

joy, pleasure, gladness, mirth,rejoicing

music merriment a cherished desire deception, illusion, phantasm a train of thoughts, images or

fancies passing through themind during sleep

a fancy voluntarily indulged inwhile awake

a state of abstraction or trance a wild fancy or hope a reverie

And those are only the nouns.Dreams verb forms deserve anentry of their own.

Naturally, there are steamingheaps of quotes having to do withdreams, dreamers and dreaming.I like the dreamlike nature of thisone from Carl Jung:

Who looks outside, dreams; wholooks inside, awakes.

Are your works manifestationsof your dreams, or the other wayaround?Do any of the alternate meaningsappeal?

COMPOSE

The OED oers one full page onthe word composeand over twopages on its forms (composition,composed, compose, composer,composedness).

Surprisingly, the word composewas used to refer to putting wordson paper as early as the 1480s, yetwasnt applied to writing musicuntil the 1590s.

Compose comes to English fromLatin through French. Its madeup of com- which means togetherand -posere, which means toplace or put down. This basic ideamakes lots of sense. What I ndmost intriguing are the varied

meanings of compose over theyears. I love how they tweakmy thinking about what it is tocompose.

Here are a few from a very longlist:

to invent and put into proper formto arrange artisticallyto tranquilizeto form words and blocks of words(to set type)to compound or to mixto settle, adjust or arrangeto make seemly and orderlyto lay out a dead body

Modern mystery writers take thatlast denition so seriously, theytry to lay out a dead body in therst chapter of every novel. JohnIrving, Robertson Davies andtheir devotees really take the tocompound or to mix denitionseriously, getting some of their

joy from weaving unlikelyand topics and togetheare days when any of uthough all were doing iswords and blocks of wowe pray will have some vfollowing day.
