Special Projects:

Helping your child at home:

Help them study vocabulary words.
Have them read their essays to you. Reading them out-loud is a great editing method/tool.
Show interest in their school work and accomplishments.
Nightly journaling. Writing at least something helps to improve their academic writing as well.

WRITE WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY!
