- Go to Learning to write is a survival skill. Hello?.............................
You sound really excited!
Yes I work as an Art Therapist in an Aged Care Centre (mainly painting) that is multi-cultural and many of the residents don't speak English.
We still work together quite well.
I have read your other post.
I will be reading your progress with interest,
Jo

brisbane, I equate learning and survival. Both equally as good.
And Hey! I'm so glad to hear you say that about drawing. We love drawing! Can I use this line -- everyone has a pre-verbal stage in communicating? Did I get that right?

Survival Skill
"when you reverse the traditional teaching process, begin with writing, move to reading in every way imaginable, then on to speaking -- you may be doing something right. Namely, not wasting precious years when the learning acquisition device is wide open, memorizing speeches about your family. Learning to read is a learning skill people. Learning to write is a survival skill."
I use drawing before the rest of it all together. This is because they say that there is a preverbal state where people communicate without boundaries.
I guess we all do what we have to do to survive in the teaching game.
Why do you make the disctinction abovr.
learning to read is a learning skill.
Learning to write is a survival skill.
In what way do you mean that?
