🧩 Problem Solving

🔍 Possible reasons

Possible reasons: reading the question is the hard part; the child may rush to calculate before understanding.

🧭 What parents can try

Use the five questions: what do you know? what are you finding? what method? another way? does it make sense? Resist giving the answer.

🏡 Simple activity

Word-problem theatre: act out a simple word problem with toys before solving it.

📚 Recommended EduManual lessons

🤝 When to seek additional support: If reading the questions is the blocker, the reading skills need support first — the teacher can confirm.
