Ways to help your child be more successful in ELA/SS
Check Skyward and ensure all assignments are completed and turned in.
Reach out to your child's teacher if you have any questions or concerns.
Engage in conversation with your student. ELA involves thinking and remembering ideas and events. Helping students improve their comprehension will prepare them for success in the classroom.
Reading: Encourage independent reading at home. This not only expands their knowledge as good readers, but they are also building their reading stamina.
Writing: Encourage your student to write about anything that interests them (journals, diaries, stories, poetry, etc.). This not only allows students to express their thoughts and creativity, but it also lets students practice the techniques taught during class at home.
“Learning standards that are most essential because they possess qualities of endurance, leverage, and readiness for success at the next grade level”
