Social Media is not the biggest barrier in teenage girls becoming assertive and resilient adults. It’s how society limits them
The ubiquity of social media is usually the number one suspect when it comes to high-school girls’ low self-esteem and lack of confidence. But at its epicentre, many girls don’t reach their full potential because they’re told that they must conform to what society, and certain cultures, expect from them.
Submissions in the form of short stories, essays and poems with a South African theme are invited for publication in a volume tentatively titled, Mzansi Tales. Any South African language may be used. A collection of the best submissions will be complled and launched at the 2020 Durban Book Fair which will take place from 24 to 27 April at Mitchell Park, Durban.
Once your child has learnt that NOT all information is CRITICAL, you can now introduce the concept of KEYWORDS.
Another term for effective reading is reading comprehension. Mention the word comprehension to your child and he will probably wretch with disgust? What if I told you that effective reading or comprehension can in fact be a lot of fun? What if you equipped your child with a strategy to understand a text from the beginning of his learning career. It is important to note at this point that strategy is not everything. To find out more about this please refer to the following article by Natalie Wexler, Why We’re Teaching Reading Comprehension In A Way That Doesn’t Work.
