HOW TO LEARN THE LETTER ar

Make an index card with the letter ar on it in black

Then make one in red

And then make one in green.

And another in blue.

Then make a set of index cards in big letters and again in black, red, blue, and green.

Do the same with small letters and really big letters.

Why the different sizes and colors? Because while a linear learner might be able to see that a letter in a different font is still the same letter many of these kids(fragmented learners) cannot. So we learn it in different colors, different sizes, and different fonts.

Now you should have a deck that looks like this.

ar	ar	ar	ar
ar	ar	ar	ar
ar	ar	ar	ar
ar	ar	ar	ar

Show the card with ar on it

and say

What is this letter?

The only acceptable answer is “are”

Only "are" is acceptable.

There are to be no associations, illustrations, or hints of any type.

What is this?

are

Do not draw it

Do not do anything except

say "What is this?"

and show the card

"are" is the only acceptable answer.

If he gets it wrong. No big deal. Don't sigh or frown or get angry. Just say “no this is are”.

Do it as much as possible. 10 times per day minimum, thirty times per day is better. Each episode should last less than thirty seconds. Ten times a day only comes out to 5 minutes per day. Do it day after day until he gets it. Two days two weeks, who cares? Just keep doing it until he gets it.

Once he gets these cards we need to add different fonts. This is because while la regular learner might be able to see that a letter in a different font is still the same letter many of these kids cannot. So we learn it in different fonts

Now make some cards in the font verdana because that is what they use onmany websites.

Also make them in times roman because that is the way books are written

ar	ar	ar	ar	verdana
ar	ar	ar	ar	times new roman
ar	ar	ar	ar	arial

Do not rush him.

Do not sit in judgment of him.

Just keep working on it but remember when i say working on it I mean that the "lessons" are only to last no longer than thirty to sixty seconds then take a break of at least 10 minutes

Do it the in the morning at the breakfast table.

Do it in the car.

Do it at the movies.

Do it during television-during every single commercial

Hang it up all over the house

Hang it on trees in the backyard

paste it on the bathroom mirror

paste it on the toilet seat

Ultimately when you show him the letter ar

you say what is this

his answer must be are

nothing else--just are

you say: what is this? ar

He says: are

if he gets it wrong just say no this is the letter are
