  • 7 (almost 8) year old boy with reading problems, looking for a teachers advice.?

    so basically i am nannying a 7 almost 8 year old boy, he is about to be held back in the first grade for the second time, this is because of his reading skills. apparently at the end of the school year he was at a "1.3" reading level and he needs to be a "2.3" reading level in order to move onto the second grade. the main issues he has are with scrambling letters such as saying "who" when the word is "how" or "there" when the word is "three" sometimes he starts in the middle of a word, things like "never" and he'll say "veren", he will often just say words that might sound ok in context, things like "a" and "the" "at" "in", if you tell him its wrong he will get it right the next time. sometimes he will say words that don't look ANYTHING like the word given, like today he kept saying "huggle" instead of "grummble" he just guesses, sometimes he will say a word that makes sense sort of in context, but is the completely wrong word, things like saying "juggle feet" when he's supposed to say "trick feet". he has a hard time paying attention and most anything you say he will not remember, i can correct him literally 8 times in a row (not throughout the book, at the same time) and he will still say it incorrectly. i have been working with him for an hour everyday the entire summer, he is doing better, but im worried he still won't make it into the second grade, in which case he won't graduate until he's 20 :/ is there anything his mom can say to the teacher to get him re tested?

  • i need some academic websites for info on aretha franklin.?

    her personal biography on her page is not acceptable to my teacher, they have to be super academic, absolutely no articles or news journals. obviously things like wikipedia are out of the question. these need to be top of the line type of things.

  • do i have to be an Opera singer to get into a vocal performance or singing major?

    hi, i'm looking at majors right now and all i'm seeing for singing is vocal performance and usually it talks about opera. i'm an alternative rock singer with some broadway influences, i know i have talent and have taken lessons before but it seems like all the colleges are looking for Opera singers rather than normal singers. is there a program in colleges for people like me? are vocal performance majors only for opera singers? if so, what should my major be, i want to be in a band and tour but i think a strong music education backround would help.

I'm just trying to figure out if i have a shot.

  • im thinking about buying an 01 mustang, but i'm a little nervous, help?

    hi, i am 17 and i am very interested in this gorgeous (and i mean gorgeous!) yellow mustang. it looks absolutely brand new off the lot. it has almost 100,000 miles on it though..... which isn't so bad for it's age but i'm a little nervous that i'm going to buy it only to have a bunch of issues which i would like to avoid if possible. it's only $7200 and i can more than afford the car, so my main question is is it reliable, do you think i might have to do some repairs on it fairly soon? i also can't drive a stick and i don't know if it is a stick or not, the dealer is closed only when i'm available. i mean who opens at 10 and closes at 6! so i havn't been able to test drive yet or take a really really good look at it, i'm going tomorrow so if theres anything i should be on the look out for, trouble signs or things that i might notice while driving it that might be indicators....... i'm just looking for some info.
