I can read Arabic.
I can pronounce the words.
I can read the symbols.
I can read it aloud.
I have absolutely no idea what I’ve read. 🤷🏽♀️
Reading fluently does not automatically mean understanding.
Comprehension isn’t a by-product of reading.
It must be explicitly taught.
Children learn best when they feel safe, supported and ready to engage.
Every day won’t be perfect.
Every child won’t learn the same way.
And that’s okay.
Learning is a journey, not a race.
What does a typical learning day look like in your home?
Reading fluency is about more than reading quickly.
A fluent reader reads with accuracy, expression and understanding. When children no longer need to spend all their energy decoding words, they can focus on meaning, make connections and enjoy what they are reading.
Reading comprehension is more than answering questions correctly. It is about thinking deeply, making connections, understanding meaning, asking questions, and analysing ideas.
@sawan_sing_h It’s brackets first, but division + multiplication have equal priority.
So you go left → right: 8 ÷ 2 × (2+2).
The real issue is the notation.
8 ÷ 2(4) is ambiguous.
In proper maths it’s interpreted as 8 ÷ [2×4] = 1.
It’s World Ocean Day today!!!
Our oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth and are home to an incredible variety of plants, animals and ecosystems.
They provide oxygen, regulate our climate, support wildlife and play a vital role in life on our planet.

Reading and spelling may look different on the surface, but they are built on two closely connected skills: blending and segmenting.
- Blending is putting sounds together to read words.
- Segmenting is breaking words apart into sounds to spell them.
Many children struggle with maths because they are taught procedures without understanding. Confidence grows when children understand the “how and the why,” not just getting the answer.
