Ways parents can help support student learning at home

Set a routine: Designate a specific time and place for homework and reading each night to help children develop good study habits and focus.
Monitor progress: Regularly check in on homework or assignments, and discuss any challenges they might be facing.
Communicate with teachers: Attend parent-teacher conferences and stay updated on curriculum and expectations.
Provide support, not answers: Guide your child through the process of solving problems, rather than giving them direct answers.
Celebrate achievements: Praise effort and progress, not just perfect grades.
Adapt to individual needs: Understand your child's learning style and pace, and adjust your support accordingly.

Promote positive attitudes - This is a learning opportunity, not something to fear. Encourage them to do their best!
Ensure proper rest and nutrition - Get plenty of rest before the test and eat breakfast.
Communicate with teachers - Find out which areas your child needs to focus on.
