1. Read together!!!!

Children who read at home with their parents perform better in school.

2. Establish a family routine for homework and remote learning time.

Set aside a regular, quiet time for your child to work.

3. Keep the lines of communications open with the school.

Parents who are involved with the school have students that succeed better in school. Never hesitate to email me with questions or concerns!

4. Be positive about your child's progress.

By focusing on the positives, your child feels more successful and is more willing to take risks as a learner.

5. Work with your child.

Help your child practice math skills by playing a game that is sent home. Help your child stretch words out to hear the sounds he/she is trying to write. Read to your child and with your child.

6. Look at your child's papers regularly.

When you show an interest in what your child is doing, often the child works harder to succeed.

7. Set limits.

Don't be afraid to set limits to TV, radio, or video games, especially when it is time for homework.

8. Teach your child to be responsible.

Your child is just beginning to mature into a real student, so help him/her be responsible for his/her education. For example, have your child check his or her Take Home Folder at the end of the day or pack snack each night.

9. Make learning the main priority.

Find excitement in learning by taking your child on nature walks, finding the answers to questions together, and demonstrating that you want to learn as well.

10. Have fun with your child as you live and learn together!
