Each child should have opportunity to read aloud each day. During this time you can note and correct mispronounced words.

Older Students

•Present questions that require thought. Some questions may not have one perfect answer. Some may not have an answer at all. Nevertheless, thought is stimulated and learning takes place. •Copy challenging writing in order to practice English skills and increase comprehension. •Do extensive research in order to understand deeper writing such as poems. •Research authors, times and places. •Report by presenting orally or compiling results of research in writing. The quantity and quality of written assignments should increase with older students. •Solidify language-learning with a formal grammar course and a formal writing course such as Wordsmith courses by Jane B.

But perhaps greatest advantage of earning a degree online is fact that classes are open 24 hours a day, so even busiest person can make time to learn.

“My biggest regret about my participation in Regis University Online MBA program is that I did not enroll sooner,” says Chuck Jaape of Florida. “Why did I wait? I was too busy to go to school. Did my load suddenly lighten, allowing time for studies? Absolutely not! It simply occurred to me that I would always be ‘too busy,’ so I jumped in. I work 55 hours a week, have two small children and a wife who works. I found program to be manageable because I could go to class anytime, day or night. I found program to have more depth, because my fellow learners were all as committed as I was.”

Most online programs typically offer MBA degrees in two years. At Regis University, students can take 12 course program one class at a time and still finish in standard 24 months.
