Tips for Creating a Learning Environment at Home

Continue routines

Continue to wake up at similar time in the morning and adhere to a typical morning routine of getting dressed and eating breakfast like you would do on a typical day.


Set up a home learning area

Setup an area where your child will be completing school learning activities such as a table or desk. This area should be as distraction free as possible. If using a space that is used for other activities, consider using a bin or box to place supplies when learning time is over.

Make sure the area has the supplies that are needed and a clock if possible.

Set up a learning schedule

Collaborate with your child to create a schedule of what their learning day should look like

Break longer learning activities up with movement activities , calming activities, snack time, etc.

Visual schedules are helpful ways to show what the day will look like and what is expected for each time period. Also, consider a “First, Then” schedule (i.,e, "First math, then break").

Reinforce expectations during learning times

If needed, create a reinforcement schedule in which your child can earn a preferred activity for following the schedule and completing work (ex. 30 minutes of working = 5 minutes of a preferred activity such as a game, coloring, listening to music, watching YouTube, etc.)
