  1. I don't think if a child is falling behind in the 3rd grade cirriculum then they should just require more help, not hold them back.

  2. I believe that the younger years of your education are the most important because that's when you learn how to learn. If you don't accomplish this early one you will end up struggling when you're older.

  3. I believe if children are frustrated while reading they will stop reading and will fall behind in their studies

  8. I agree with this article in the fact that, a lot of learning is triggered from reading. Most kids do start reading in the 3rd grade. Reading expands the knowledge of the mind greatly. But if some kids are frustrated reading they might give up on reading and lose that knowledge all together.
