* GO This is " declarative knowledge" or knowing facts like the letters of alphabet, counting from 1 to 10 and matching a number to the correct number of items.
* GROW Also called "procedural knowledge", this means knowing how to use the knowledge in specific ways. For example, now that your child knows the alphabet, he can check new words in the dictionary.
* GLOW or "conditional knowledge" - knowing when and where to apply your knowledge. This happens when the child sees a new word that has many syllables. for instance. He tries to pronounce it by breaking it down into syllables, sounding them out and then saying the new word as a whole. It also happens when he does multiplication using his fingers.
To raise a life-long learner, one needs all this types of knowledge - so he should explore on his own without needing a push. "This should be the aspect of learning that can never be enough"
