The Ingenious DR Power Grader

In the old days and even still today people would use a tractor pulling an open blade to grade terrain. The basic principle was to apply more weight to the scraping blade to get better and smoother result. The DR power grader however takes a new approach to grading.

DR Power Equipment has created a real gem of a machine with the DR Power grader. The grader is to be used with a riding mover, tractor or even an ATV. Just like other graders it is pulled behind the vehicle to smooth basically any dirt or gravel in a yard.  At first glance they grader doesn’t seem to be anything special, but when you take a closer look you come to discover the ingenious design of the grader. The graders blade has steel teeth of “scarifiers” positioned in front of it.  This is pretty similar to normal box blade graders.  The clever part of the DR Power graders come in the form of an actuator which allows you to either lower or raise the set of wheels on which the grader is mounted. This enables you to change your grading depth with the simple push of a button.  The remote control used to raid or lower the grader can be easily kept with you in the vehicle you are using.

This push on demand grading enables you to effortlessly grade an area.  You can start by grading only a few millimeters under the surface and then progressively lower the teeth to get the ultimate smooth graded finish. The ease of use and well thought out design make this grader perfect for residential and small commercial application, and with the ease of use it is far less likely to damage your yard or driveway.  In fact if you compare the old conventional graders to the DR Power grader you will see that Power grader is even cheaper.  This coupled with a six month risk free return policy really makes this an excellent option for people looking to invest in a grader. Suddenly all the competition starts to look like antique graders.  Throw in a whole myriad other useful accessories for the grader and you will struggle to find any product that comes even close to this grader.

DR Power has really set the bar high with this new offering. If you are planning to do some grading and would like to get it done properly the first time then investing in DR Power grader would be a wise investment.  With all the positive feedback it has gotten it is hard to imagine how anyone would not consider purchasing this great product. If you don’t believe then just go online and read some reviews, they shouldn’t be hard to find.

Any recommendations on how to improve reading skills for a first grader?

Hi everyone,

My little brother, who is almost 7, is in jeopardy of being held back in 1st grade and I want to help him as much as possible so there might be a chance to improve on his deficiencies over this summer. His main problems include reading and writing.

Is there any type of audio program or reading program that can help him with reading? Any type of writing program for math?

Also any types of books that teachers might recommend?

I’m really committed to helping him and I would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks a bunch! :)

I teach Kindergarten, but there are several ways to help struggling students. First, flash cards of sight words are a must. These would be words his teacher would have sent home. If they didn’t send any home, go to Walmart or Target and look for the post-it notes that have the words on them. These are the words I am talking about. He should practice writing and reading them. Buy a small dry erase or chalk board for him to use. Have him write the word, say it, write it again, say it again, write it again, say it again. 3 times is crucial, but it must be done in that format. Also, he should use the word in a sentence. Having him write the sentence is even better.
As for actually practicing reading, you would need to know what level he can read at. Your local library has these books, called leveled or beginning readers. In first grade they move through the most levels, starting with a B and going to J. So I’m not sure where he falls within that. It’s important that he not only be able to read the story, but also be able to answer specific questions, and/or retell the story in his own words.
While they do make audio programs and such, most don’t really work, so I wouldn’t waste your money. Simple drill and practice is what he needs.
For math, same thing. Flash cards, practice money, etc. You can buy effective workbooks at walmart that would help.
Going back to writing, he needs to be able to write stories on his own. He has to pick a topic and write, without help from anyone. He needs to have sight words spelled correctly, and use a dictionary for the rest.

Hope that helps!
