Ways to help at home 

For my K-5 resource caseload parents, you can help out at home by:

• Reading with your child for 15-20 minutes each evening and asking to retell what happened.

• Practicing sight words, spelling patterns, or vocabulary using flashcars or simple games. 

• Reviewing addition, subtraction, multiplication, or measuring ingredients.

• Checking homework and helping your child correct mistakes without completing the work for them.

• Maintaining a predictable homework routine in a quiet, distraction free location

• Breaking assignments into smaller steps and providing brief movement breaks

• Encouraging your child to use strategies taught at school, such as rereading, highlighting key information, using manipulatives, or drawing a model

• Using visual schedules, timers, and checklists
