No One can learn to read perfectly with out a perfect step ladder, Abacus One will provide that ladder for every child on earth in their own language.

My finger map

system one 4 every 1 showing your own child every step of the counting road

every mother can teach naturally every child can learn naturally this is the counting road to reading

Creating a daily my finger map,this step is a daily step, you show your own child every day, draw around your own fingers and your child will draw around their own fingers. You write the numbers on your nails your child will write the numbers on their nails. You write the name of the numbers above your fingers, your child will write the name of the numbers above their fingers
you create your own finger map your child will create their own finger map keep a folder of your maps your child will love the folder of their own maps

Tap Your fingers on the table from one to ten

, you will hear the musical rhythm
1 --- 2 ------ 3-4- 5 ------ 6 ----- 7--- 8- -9--10
when the maps have been absorbed start showing your child how to count at the speed of light creating three sums by random subtractions from the two fives, then adding the two totals together

“a sum a second”

which is in fact three sums a second

every day take your child through the show me exercise
show me one show me five show me all five
show me six show me ten show me all ten

Slowly your child will recognise those four concepts we use to describe a number, spoken numeral written and finally the physical meaning

[SIZE="7"]my fingers[/SIZE]

is the first of three maps every child needs to perfect their use of.


[SIZE="7"]Abacus one[/SIZE]

is the next map they have to perfect, depending on the age of the child and the amount of lessons given before the child is able to dispensed with Abacus one, could be anything between six months and a year.
For an adult familiarising themselves with Abacus one simply run through all the times tables adding up slowly each number, initially ignore the writen number and count the Abacus remember,

that exchanging 10 singles for a block of 10 or vice versa is the principle of Abacus use

you will master this as you count through each of the tables upwards, and perfect it when you count down 12 from 144

this realisation will be dramatic to you but extremely valuable in allowing you to teach your own child.

Counting out the times tables upwards and downwards is a dramatic learning process to an adult

but over a much longer period your child will develop perfection in visualising the count of every number from 1 to 12 12 times
setting the Abacus up is done by vocally telling your child what number to start with they will soon read the numbers rather than count them once they become aware of the numbers,

start with easy sums and developed the child's ability slowly do not break the ten to start with, but you will be able to show your child how to break the 10 when they need to be shown it. Using Abacus one needs demonstration to begin with but regular Association with it will develop the mind of any child bringing capable visualisation into their mental arithmetic.

The third map I am using is

[SIZE="7"] Nicholson's counter[/SIZE]

or sometimes I call it the [SIZE="6"]Abacus one map[/SIZE]. It is something I made for India where I taught a dozen young girls who went on to show Indian charities out use the Abacus one map.

In India I illustrated it by using the stones, place seven stones on the seven zero`s count down to 7 on the right-hand column, then add another seven by counting on words.

Count three more for the new seven hold it up in your hand with your arm stretched upwards and then ask

“please MR decimal give me 10”

simply move your second column stone onto the number written 10. You will then have established the means of utilising this counter as abacus.

We do have a very complicated game to use this counter with, which we call chance encounter, but you will be able to initially devised methods of teaching visually, by utilising this third map, for instance by placing two stones on each column you can bring about a continued number of 10 in five different modes.

Then for instance illustrate how three stones on each column will build the number 9,999,999 explained to your child that when the totals of any number added together like this one 7x 9 equals 63 showing that when the (sum total) of numbers are added together and they are divisible by three means the larger number itself is also perfectly divisible by three,

You can illustrate this with seven counters in three colours by the time you get to this stage both you and your child will be becoming mathematic experts. This same rule is correct when used to check six and nine, three obviously goes into either of these two totals division checks as well.

Any healthy woman in the world even without the ability to read will be able to teach her own child how to count efficiently using these three maps, this system of arithmetic can be utilised in the reception classes in every English school, and be reinforced of course by the parents every evening.

After learning to count efficiently every child we have taught has proceeded to be able to read quite easily provided of course our seven systematic steps in reading are also carried out in the prescribed manner.

Repetitious reading of memorable sentences”. This is a description and title of my home reading training, an educational resource specifically for training your own children to read. Part 2 of

The word pedagogy basically meaning a teaching system, is not considered by many on a daily basis or is it recognised by the majority of our populations.
