There are even a host of free online games that will keep childrens math skills sharp.(4) “Homeschool” Children.Keeping childrens skills fresh doesnt have to cost a fortune: check out some workbooks and online resources, and children can work through several exercises each day.

They combine funny words, funny pictures, and social opinion.Theodor Geisel was born in Springfield, Massachusetts in 1904. After graduating from Dartmouth College in 1924, he spent a year studying literature(文学) at Oxford University in England. When he returned to the United States in 1927, he hoped to become a writer of serious literature. But the economic depression(经济萧条) in the United States delayed his dreams of becoming a serious writer. In 1937, he wrote his first book for children, which is called “And To Think I Saw It on Mulberry Street.” However, a number of publishers refused to accept it. They said it was too different from ordinary books. A friend finally published it. Soon other successful books followed. Over the years he wrote more than forty childrens books, which were fun to read. Yet his books sometimes dealt with serious subjects including equality, responsibility and protecting the environment.Doctor Seuss had a strong desire to help children. In 1954, Life magazine published a report about school children who could not read. The report said many childrens books were not interesting. Reading the report, Doctor Seuss decided to write books that were interesting and easy to read. To make his book easy to read, he used words with the same ending sound, like fish and wish.In 1957, Dr. Seuss wrote “The Cat in the Hat”, in which he used less than two hundred twenty-five words. This was the number of words a six-year-old should be able to read. The book was an immediate success. Children loved it. Their parents loved it, too. Today many adults say it is still one of the stories they like best. The success of the book made him want to write more books for children. He started a series called Beginner Books, which remain well liked among children today.In 1984, Mr. Geisel won a Pulitzer Prize for childrens literature. At that time he had been writing childrens books for almost fifty years. He was honored for the education and enjoyment his books provided American children and their parents, and his influence remains through the books he wrote. Experts say his books helped change the way American children learned to read.53. What was Theodor Geisels dream when he returned from England?54. What did Theodor Geisel decide to do after he read the report published
