I can remember when we went on our group nature walks to learn about wildlife, and while we were discovering about wildlife we would search for bugs and collect them and learn all about them!

My mother and I spent hours teaching me the basics of speaking and sounds of every letter. In addition, I had trouble with reading. It would take me hours to read something and to comprehend it. I can recall that my mother patiently taught me the fundamentals of reading and would sit next to me helping me learn each word. My mother would even help me read my school books. For instance, we would sit there each reading one page aloud to each other so that I can learn how to read and remain calm since I was not facing my problem of reading on my own.
