Dr. Sara Mivberg, a senior lecturer in mathematics, reviews Alma Amir's (pen name) book "One Step Forward" about raising children during a crisis in the education system. Mivberg describes a worrying trend of students arriving at academia with difficulties in reading comprehension and independent thinking, linking this to gaps originating in early childhood. The book, she says, emphasizes the role of parents in establishing the foundations of arithmetic and reading before first grade, in cooperation with the school. Mivberg shares a personal experience with her grandson, where reducing screens and focused games led to an improvement in his vocabulary. She recommends the book to every parent and grandparent.
