What it builds: Deciding which operation the words are asking for — that's where most kids get stuck, not the arithmetic.

· Have them read it out loud first. Skipped words cause more wrong answers than bad math.
· If the number-sentence line is empty and only the answer is filled in, do that one together again.
· Stuck? Tell the same story with smaller numbers and they'll usually see it.
