BEHIND OUR KIDS. THAT’S WHAT
WE’RE FOCUSING ON RIGHT NOW.
NEW THIS MORNING.
>> READING IS ALWAYS, YOU
KNOW, IN ESSENTIAL FOCUS,
ESPECIALLY WHEN WE’RE TALKING
ABOUT PREVENTING THAT DREADED
SUMMER SLIDER RIGHT?
>> WELL, 2, OHIO MOMS, THOUGH,
ARE URGING PARENTS TO ALSO
THINK ABOUT ADDING MATH SKILLS
INTO THE MIX. IT’S IMPORTANT
AS OUR TANEISHA CORDELL
EXPLAINS.
>> THEY’VE CREATED A WORKBOOK
TO HELP.
>> AS SISTERS AND FULL-TIME
TEACHERS, WE WERE IN THE
CLASSROOM WITH MOM WHEN WE
COULD TO JUST KIND OF FELL IN
LOVE WITH THAT. THIS IS ALL
ABOUT THE THIS 6TH GRADE MATH
GURU AND ELEMENTARY
INTERVENTION. SPECIALIST DUO
IS ALSO BALANCING MOTHERHOOD.
WE HAVE AGE RANGES FROM 3 THE
WAY TO 10. ALL THE WORRIES
OCCASIONAL STRESS AND FOCUS ON
GROWTH ARE NONSTOP. THAT’S
LIKE A REALLY GOOD, HARD
CHALLENGE FOR US TO KIND OF
LIKE OLD EVERYTHING TOGETHER
AT THE CHALLENGES FROM INSIDE
THE CLASSROOM. ACTUALLY DID A
REALLY GOOD. I’VE SEEN A LOT
OF THE GAP IN MATH BEFORE
COVID, BUT AFTER COVID IT WAS
SOMETHING THAT REALLY
SHOWCASED ITSELF IN A RIGHT
WAY CAN BE HARD TO SHAKE OFF.
THEY’RE NOT COMING INTO THE
CLASSROOM WITH A LOT OF THE
BASICS EVEN AT

HOME. AND I CAN
SEE THAT MY OWN KIDS TO AND
DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS, THE
PRESSURE TO PRESERVE A LEARNED
SKILL SETS SPECIFICALLY WITH
MASK HEIGHTENS MATH FACTS OR
SOME OF THOSE SKILLS OR EVEN
JUST TIME COMPREHENSION OR
MONEY COMPREHENSION THOSE
KINDS OF SKILLS IF YOU DON’T
KEEP UP ON THEM, REALLY DO
FALL OFF. SO LASHA STILL BE
AND A LOT OF GOLD DECIDED TO
DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. NO ONE
REALLY KNOWS. YOU KNOW HOW TO
WORK ON MATH WITH THEIR CHILD.
>> NO ONE KNOWS, YOU KNOW WHAT
STEPS THEY THEY SHOULD BE
TAKING OR WHERE THEY SHOULD BE
AT DIFFERENT GRADE LEVELS.
THAT’S WHERE THESE BOOKS KIND
OF CAME ABOUT. AND THE WHOLE
IDEA OF PARENT TEACHER MODE,
THE WORKBOOKS STAY SHARP AND
STAY SHARP JUNIOR.
>> ARE FOR KIDS ENTERING
KINDERGARTEN UP TO 9TH GRADE.
IT’S REVIEWING SKILLS THAT
THEY’VE ALREADY LEARNED AND
THAT WAY THEY’RE DOING THE
SHORT REALLY, YOUR CHILD
SHOULD ONLY BE DOING THESE
PAGES FOR PROBABLY AROUND 5
MINUTES A DAY CAN READ THESE
DIRECTIONS FOR ME. BUT IT’S
ALSO FOR PARENTS JUGGLING LIFE
AND SEVERAL TITLES. YOU AS A
PARENT DON’T NEED TO BE AN
EXPERT WHEN YOU’RE USING THESE
BOOKS WITH YOUR CHILD, HELPING
THEM ACTIVATE THAT TEACHER
MODE AT HOME,
>> GREAT ALL RIGHT. NOW THE
STATE IS SHARP WORK. BOOKS ARE
AVAILABLE ONLINE SO YOU CAN
ORDER THEM FOR YOUR FAMILY
RIGHT NOW. THEY’RE OHIO MAY
THROUGH AND THROUGH AND ARE
ACTUALLY PRINTED IN AKRON,
WHICH IS ALSO THE NEED TO
KATIE.
>> THESE 2 MOMS ARE PARTNERING
IN THERE HOPING TO PARTNER
WITH MORE SCHOOL DISTRICTS,
15% OF THEIR PROFITS FROM BOOK
FUNDRAISERS THAT THEY DO WITH
THE SCHOOL’S POOR RIGHT BACK
INTO THE EDUCATION AND JUST,
YOU KNOW, JUST REALLY PREPPING
THEM UP FOR SUMMER. I MEAN,
HELLO. YEAH. THAT’S GOOD. ALL
THE WAY AROUND. MOMS KNOW. AND
I ALSO LOVE THAT YOU TOLD US
THAT YOU CAN KIND OF FLASH THE
YES, BUT YOU GOT THE RIGHT
ANSWER ON THE CHEAT CODES ARE
THERE? SAY THIS KIND TO EYES
LIKE HAPPEN. GOT THE SINAI
FROM DANITA. IT’S A GOOD
MORNING.
>> DO YOU FEEL YOU’RE GETTING
COACHED ON OVER? THERE MAY BE
IS THIS PARENT
