Reading: Please encourage your child to read for at least 20 minutes each day. This can be reading independently or reading with an adultāboth are wonderful and valuable!
We have included articles about the importance of reading 20 minutes a day and the value of parents spending time reading to their children.
Math: A little math practice each day goes a long way! Students can practice math facts and skills through games, flashcards, written practice, or online activities. Becoming more comfortable with numbers helps students build confidence and focus on deeper problem-solving.
