Some Ace Attorney D&D characters for the silly!!

First we have Phonics Write (hehe silly) for a muppet Monster of the Week campaign my sister is DMing. He’s 2 feet tall (pay no attention to his lack of size consistency in the doodles). Trixie the Rabbit is my friend’s character for the campaign and she’s a big bird-type Muppet (making her giant 😭) and she’s a magician. She unintentionally fits Trucy in more than one way (i say unintentionally because my friend isn’t into AA)

Second, we have Milo van Huntridge, a fallen aasimar vampire sorcerer that I haven’t used yet, but I drew him in the first doodle page for the silly (but he doesn’t exist in that campaign world at all haha)

Anyways, just as I love making robot designs for characters, I also love making D&D characters out of my favourites :)

So many problems in education I think actually boil down to kids are not really taught how to read or write so much as they are simply expected to pick up these skills from Vibes and Good Feelings.

I had to take a break from my curriculum theory homework because I was getting too mad at California/math "reformers" in general so please enjoy these bits from the story I'm attempting to finish in time to submit it for the @newsiesficchallenges Halloween event

Every now and then I wonder if I have some form of dyslexia or reading disability, because to this day I cannot phonetically sound out foreign words as well as confusing words or combining words or struggling to verbally read out words.

P

A

Y

D

A

Y

Because who DOESN’T like acrostic poems?

P is for Police, we kill them in their droves

A is for Armored Transport, they are a treasure trove of shit loot

Y is for Y did I make this fucking rhyme

D is for Dallas, I want him in my pants

A is for AAA, this fucking thermal lance!!!

Y is for Yakuza, a deck I never use.

[fattyskeleton]

does anyone else have that problem where they start writing with a certain tone and voice, not because it’s a decision, but because you forgot how to fucking spell words?

Cause i just had to rearrange a sentence because i couldn’t get my spell check to understand what word i was trying to type.

[florilegium-and-commonplace]

When I read "xoxo" in my head I pronunce it like an old andalusian lady. So, in my head it sounds "SHOSHO". The rest of the message does not change, but at the end a cheerful andalusian lady calls someone "girlie", and there's nothing I can do to change it.

Preparing Kids for Success: English Exam Preparation Strategies

As children progress through their education, English exams become a significant part of their academic journey. Mastering the English language is essential for achieving good results in exams, and effective preparation is crucial. This blog will explore various strategies and resources to support English exam preparation for kids, with a focus on vocabulary building activities and the benefits of online English classes for children.

Understanding the Importance of English Exam Preparation

English exams assess a student's understanding of the language, including reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills. They often cover various topics, including grammar, comprehension, and vocabulary. Proper preparation is essential for several reasons:

Building Confidence: Adequate preparation helps students feel more confident in their abilities, reducing anxiety during exams.

Enhancing Understanding: Through consistent study and practice, children deepen their understanding of the English language and its nuances.

Improving Performance: Well-prepared students are likely to achieve higher scores, opening doors to future academic opportunities.

Encouraging Lifelong Learning: Mastery of the English language provides a foundation for continuous learning, as it is essential in both personal and professional contexts.

Vocabulary Building Activities

One of the key components of English exam preparation for kids is vocabulary development. A strong vocabulary enhances reading comprehension, writing ability, and overall communication skills. Here are some engaging vocabulary building activities to help kids expand their word bank:

Word Games:

Scrabble: This classic board game encourages kids to form words and learn new vocabulary in a fun way.

Boggle: A word search game that helps children think quickly and expand their vocabulary by finding words in a grid of letters.

Flashcards:

Create flashcards with a new word on one side and its definition or a picture representing the word on the other. Use these cards for quick review sessions and to reinforce learning.

Vocabulary Journals:

Encourage children to keep a vocabulary journal where they can write down new words they encounter. They can include definitions, sentences using the words, and synonyms or antonyms.

Contextual Learning:

Read books, articles, or stories with your child and discuss unfamiliar words in context. This approach helps them understand how to use words correctly in different situations.

Thematic Word Lists:

Create themed word lists around specific topics (e.g., nature, emotions, technology) and encourage children to use these words in sentences or stories.

Interactive Apps:

Many educational apps focus on vocabulary development through engaging games and quizzes. Some popular options include Vocabulary.com, Quizlet, and Memrise.

Online English Classes for Children

In today’s digital age, online English classes for children have become an increasingly popular option for parents seeking to enhance their child's language skills. Here are some of the benefits of online English classes:

Flexible Scheduling:

Online classes often offer flexible schedules, allowing parents to choose times that best fit their family's routine. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for busy families juggling multiple commitments.

Personalized Learning:

Many online programs allow for personalized instruction tailored to each child's learning style and pace. This individualized approach can help children grasp concepts more effectively.

Access to Qualified Instructors:

Online platforms often provide access to experienced English teachers who can offer valuable insights and support. These instructors can address specific challenges students may face.

Interactive Learning Environment:

Online classes typically incorporate multimedia resources, such as videos, interactive quizzes, and discussion forums, to engage students and make learning more dynamic.

Diverse Learning Resources:

Online courses often include a wealth of materials, including reading assignments, practice tests, and vocabulary exercises, ensuring that students have a well-rounded approach to exam preparation.

Safe Learning Environment:

For students who may feel shy or anxious in traditional classroom settings, online classes can provide a comfortable space to learn and participate without the pressure of a physical classroom.

Strategies for Effective Exam Preparation

In addition to vocabulary building activities and online English classes for children, several strategies can enhance overall English exam preparation. Here are some tips for parents and educators:

Create a Study Schedule:

Establish a structured study schedule that breaks down study sessions into manageable chunks. Consistent daily practice is more effective than cramming close to exam time.

Practice Past Papers:

Familiarize children with the exam format by practicing past papers. This exposure helps them understand the types of questions they may encounter and build confidence in their abilities.

Incorporate Reading and Writing:

Encourage daily reading and writing to reinforce language skills. Reading a variety of texts, from fiction to non-fiction, broadens vocabulary and enhances comprehension.

Engage in Conversations:

Encourage open conversations at home, prompting children to express their thoughts and ideas. This practice develops verbal communication skills and reinforces vocabulary usage.

Join Study Groups:

If possible, arrange study sessions with peers. Collaborative learning can motivate students and help them learn from each other.

Monitor Progress:

Regularly assess your child's progress and adjust the study plan as needed. Celebrate achievements to keep motivation high.

Leveraging Technology for Learning

Technology plays a significant role in modern education. There are numerous online resources and tools that can support English exam preparation for kids:

Educational Websites: Websites like Khan Academy, BBC Bitesize, and Scholastic offer interactive lessons, quizzes, and activities tailored for children's language learning.

Language Learning Apps: Applications such as Duolingo and Busuu provide engaging platforms for children to practice vocabulary and grammar through gamified experiences.

Video Resources: Platforms like YouTube host educational channels that cover grammar rules, vocabulary, and reading strategies, providing visual and auditory learning opportunities.

The Role of Parents in English Exam Preparation

Parents play a vital role in their child's academic journey. Here are some ways parents can support English exam preparation:

Encourage a Love for Reading:

Provide access to various books that match your child's interests and reading level. Regular reading can spark curiosity and improve comprehension skills.

Be Involved:

Stay informed about what your child is learning in school. Attend parent-teacher conferences, communicate with teachers, and ask about ways to support your child's learning at home.

Create a Positive Learning Environment:

Establish a quiet, dedicated space for studying that is free from distractions. A positive environment fosters focus and motivation.

Celebrate Efforts:

Recognize and celebrate your child's hard work and achievements, no matter how small. Positive reinforcement can boost their confidence and motivation.

Be Patient and Supportive:

Encourage your child to ask questions and seek help when needed. Your support and understanding can ease their stress during exam preparation.

Conclusion

English exam preparation is a vital part of a child’s educational journey, and incorporating effective strategies can lead to success. By engaging in vocabulary building activities, enrolling in online English classes for children, and utilizing technology to enhance learning, parents and educators can provide children with the tools they need to excel.

do you have any ideas about why so many students are struggling with literacy now? I know that illiteracy and reading comprehension have been issues for years and most americans read at like a 5th grade reading level but I’m curious why it seems to be worse now (pandemic? no child left behind?)

It is everything. There’s not one answer. I could talk about this forever so instead I set a five minute timer on my phone and wrote a list of as many of the many things that are causing this on a systemic level that I could think of:

It’s parents not reading with their kids (a privilege, but some parents have that privilege to be able to do this and don’t.)

It’s youtube from birth and never being bored.

It’s phasing out phonics for sight words (memorizing without understanding sounds or meaning) in elementary schools in the early aughts.

It’s defunding public libraries that do all the community and youth outreach.

It’s NCLB and mandating standardized tests which center reading short passages as opposed to longform texts so students don’t build up the endurance or comprehension skills.

It’s NCLB preventing schools from holding students back if they lack the literacy skills to move onto the next grade because they can’t be left behind so they’re passed on.

It’s the chronic underfunding of ESL and Special Ed programs for students who need extra literacy support.

It’s the cultural devaluing of the humanities in favor of stem and business because those make more money which leads to a lot of students to completely disregard reading and writing.

It’s the learning loss from covid.

It’s covid trauma manifesting in a lot of students as learned helplessness, or an inability to “figure things out” or push through adversity to complete challenging tasks independently, especially reading difficult texts.

It’s covid normalizing cheating and copying.

It’s increasing phone use.

It’s damage to attention span exacerbated by increased phone use that leaves you without an ability to sit and be bored ever without 2-3 forms of constant stimulation.

It’s shortform video becoming the predominant form of social media content as opposed to anything text-based.

It’s starting to also be generative AI.

It’s the book bans.

what did I miss.
