[Avodah] Learning Chumash with the Trop

[Prof. Levine via Avodah]

My 6 year-old grandson who is in the first grade was taught the trop 
at the same time he was being taught Chumash.  The bottom line is 
that when he says the Pesukim he has studies in yeshiva,  he says 
each word with the trop.  I think this makes it easier for him to 
remember the Pesukim.

When he davens,  he says Shma with the trop!

I can only wonder why this is not done in all yeshivas.

When it will come time for him to lein at his Bar Mitzvah,  it should 
be much easier for him than for those boys who are taught Chumash 
without the trop.
