Q: Work together to figure out the sounds in a word. For instance, say the word is "rough." Extend the word out as you say it: "rrrrr uuu fff." Stutter consonants if you need to do so. Word mapping is learning to associate pronunciation with letter groupings. It shows children that a word is a meaningful group of letters rather than just something to be memorized as a whole. Once you've sounded out the word together, help her count how many sounds she hears. In the case of "rough," she likely can hear three sounds. If she's having trouble hearing them, sound out the word again, more slowly. Now that you've counted each sound, you need to set up the word for spelling. Have her write a blank for each sound she hears. For instance, with "rough," she'll have three blanks, one for the "r" sound, one for the "u" sound, and one for the "f" sound. For each sound, you're now going to write down the proper spelling of the sound in the blank. So in the first blank, you'd write "r," while in the second blank, you'd write "ou." In the final blank, you'd right "gh." Talk about the hard parts of the word. For instance, "ou" makes a short "u" sound in "tough" (/u/). Also, the "gh" makes the "f" sound at the end. Once you've looked at the individual sounds, be sure to write the word as a whole. Have her write out "rough" below the three blanks. It's also important to provide context for the word by giving its meaning. Practice with similar words. Give her words that are similar, like "tough," and have her try to do the steps on her own.
A: Start by saying the word. Count the sounds in the word. Place a blank for each sound. Help her write down the correct spelling. Write the word as a whole.

Q: Whenever you feel your attention begin to wander, stop and tell yourself to "be here now." You may have to do this several times, but you will be gently reminding yourself that you want to focus on the task at hand. If you do this consistently, you should find that you gradually spend less and less time being distracted. Say you're trying to study in the library and you keep getting distracted by someone texting. Take note of this specific distraction then tell yourself you are going to overcome it. The next time you see it happen, will yourself not to look. Keep doing this every time the distraction comes up, and eventually you will no longer notice it. Life can get really busy, so it's no surprise if you find yourself distracted from studying by thoughts about everything else. Rather than acting like all of those other needs don't exist, give yourself an outlet. Spend 5 minutes thinking about everything that's on your plate, but then tell yourself it's time to focus on the main task for now: studying. When you've got an exam coming up, it's easy to think you need to study everything. Breaking things down and establishing just one primary goal makes things more manageable and you will be less prone to becoming distracted. For example, if you have a biology exam coming up that covers three chapters, you don't have to cram everything into one study session. Try focusing first on the parts that give you trouble, like that subsection on the Krebs cycle. Also try making notes and flashcards as it helps. Texting, social media, calls, and other distractions that come from our electronic devices are some of the biggest barriers to staying focused when studying. Luckily, the fix is easy and totally within your control. Unplug yourself! Turn off notifications on your devices. Better still, turn them off completely. Don't take calls or texts. Turn off your phone if you are able, or at least keep it on silent and away. If you can't stop this distraction, look into apps or browser plugins that can block social media, certain websites, or any other specific outlets that pull you away from studying. It's natural to want to procrastinate and put off the most difficult or unpleasant tasks. Your energy level at the start of a study session will be higher, however, so it's actually best to begin with the harder things. Put off the easier tasks instead. This will keep your focus sharp when you need it most. It might seem counterintuitive, but stepping away from your studies now and then can actually be more beneficial than trying to plow through everything without stopping. About once an hour, get up and take a short break of about 5 minutes. This helps refresh you so that you can stay focused when you come back to studying. Moving around a bit, such as by taking a brief walk, will be most beneficial. Some people imagine that knocking out several things at once means you can work faster. Attempting to multitask, such as doing your homework while watching TV or shopping online, will cause you to lose your focus. Instead concentrate on one task at a time.
A: Keep yourself on track with the "be here now" technique. Tune out specific distractions as you notice them. Give yourself a worry break. Prioritize your studying by setting a main goal. Go off the grid. Work with your energy levels. Take a brief study break now and then. Don't attempt to multitask.

Q: Hold each acrylic paint stain under cool, running water. Flush the stains until the water runs clear. Alternatively, you can soak the whole piece of clothing in cold water until the stains fade. Check the label of the clothing before you begin washing it to make sure that you can clean it at home. If it is made out of a fabric such as acetate or triacetate, take it straight to a dry cleaner. Follow the instructions on the packet of the commercial stain remover. Either apply the stain remover directly onto the acrylic paint stains, or soak the whole piece depending on the instructions. Use a commercial stain remover for both wet and dry acrylic paint stains. Place the clothing in the washing machine. Choose a setting that is 86F (30C) or below. Use your regular laundry detergent. The temperature needs to be cool enough to not set the stain into the clothing. Check the label on the clothing first to make sure that it can go into the washing machine. If it can't, hand wash the clothing by washing the piece in a bucket of water and detergent, before rinsing it with clean water. the clothing when the washing cycle is complete. Hang the clothing out on a clothesline or clotheshorse using clothespins. Don't use a dryer as the high temperatures may set any remaining stains in.
A: Flush any wet paint with cold, running water. Apply a commercial stain remover to pre-treat the stain. Wash the clothing in the washing machine on a low temperature setting. Air dry

Q: If your furnace has a reset function, there should be two copper lines running from your oil tank to the pump. If your pump does not have pipes, the oil may bleed from a fixture. You may need to put a container underneath this fixture to catch bleeding oil. Some furnaces may not be equipped with a reset button. However, if yours has this feature, you should find it located on the furnace, usually close to the oil tank. In most cases, this button is red. Push it once or twice. If you cannot easily locate the reset button on your furnace, consult its user instructions. This part should be described or clearly marked on diagrams. If the furnace doesn't come on in 60 seconds after pressing the reset, check the furnace fuses and circuit breaker. Replace or reset necessary fuses. Try to reset the furnace one more time. If the furnace does not relight, bleed the fuel line as described. When your furnace is running, a lack of oil spray on the inside of the furnace is another indication that you need to bleed the fuel line.
A:
Place a container under the bleeder pipes, if necessary. Press the reset button. Check fuses and breakers when the furnace doesn't light.
