The base of the learning and development process involved in my Education system would be one of deductive association.
I would suggest something like the following:
"The word apple starts with 'a'. People write and tell stories about apples, so they are quite important. They grow on Trees. They are also important.
The word Tree begins with the letter 'T'. People used to write letters. But although the words are the same, they have different meanings."
The above is packed with associative potential and would be repeated for about a week or until the associative discussions went flat.
"The word Bomb starts with 'b'. What do you do when you are angry? Writing letters; perhaps a collection of single letters helps everyone if you are angry. And as you are part of everyone it helps you too".
A discourse follows with the teacher listening and guiding the associations the children emit. As well as this potentially being an enriching process, one should be able to ascertain whether there are untoward things going on in the home of the child or in the child itself.
The session would be concluded with a fun drawing session in which all (including the teacher-parent) would sit around a large table and illustrate their impressions regarding what they have learnt and on how they now felt. The teacher-parent would encourage the children to help him draw and colour his picture/s.
