It means that you can not only read books but we can to other thing that we dont even no like riding a bike and get to no how we show ride it and how we show learn how to ride a bike by getting on the bike and learn how to ride it thats how we learn something new trying to do what we can't and what we can not thats how you can learn what we can do.

Very good observation...Yes, reading about "how to ride a bicycle" is not the same as actually doing it. Nice. -Mrs. B

This means that we shouldnt only read books we should get education by going to school everyday. Reading books about what you dont know what your doing, how to work harder, and learn about what you are doing. Going to school is a good thing and you can also learn everything you dont know

It means that after reading a book you must apply it.For example,reading a book about basketball you must apply it on the
the basktball court to understand
more.On the other hand reading
a newspaper will help you on your reading skills.

This means that you cant only learn from books but you can learn by experience from doing thing that will help to understand the thing that is hapening in the worl around you. For example eating, riding a bike, hanging your clothes, cleaning you room.

A better education than books can. You can learn good things from the t.v. There are shows that could teach you math and language arts etc... You can also learn good things from the internet too. If you need help on your homework and you forgot your book you can get it from the internet like google and yahoo. Those things could teach you better than a book too.

Please explain how the internet and television are considered "practical experience". Tell me more about learning from practical experience versus reading a book. Please elaborate... -Mrs. B
