I have just started looking at our materials for next fall and I have a few questions about recitation that I'm hoping some of you might be able to help me with.
1. When I ask my student a question should I expect her to answer in a complete sentence or just give the answer. For example, would she say "seven" or "There are seven days in a week." if I asked her how many days are in a week?
2. If my student already knows the answer to that recitation question before the school year begins should I skip it, make it harder or just ask it anyway?
3. I am teaching a kindergartner and a first grader. I have decided to do reading, math and copywork on their own levels. We will do enrichment together. Is recitation a good place to combine too or does the recitation material really reinforce what they are learning in the rest of their programs?
Thanks!
