One of the benefits of education methods in the West Country, UK, in particular that I see, is that the interest in reading since early. Every day children are asked to bring 'Story Bag', a school bag is thin - only fit for a two-book course, which is usually uniform color for each school. Story akan this bag filled story books that can be brought back to the house. Children are encouraged to read the story at home, the next day (or two-three days later) get a turn in front of the class read aloud and the child will be also asked about the characters in the story. Three targets reached at the same time.
First, the child - who was in love at the age of the stories, take pride in curiosity. Second, reading skills and their komprehension trained. Third, to help alleviate ortu, because the price of the book if have to buy their own, hmm ...
Instead story bag, there are also game bag, which sometimes are given once a week. Game bag contains tools - usually a simple game, where ortu should teach children so that ortu also involved in understanding school material.
