WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP YOUR CHILD LEARN

 

·         Start each day right; a calm beginning at home makes the school day much better.

·         Encourage your child to have a good breakfast and lunch and sleep at least 9 hours each night.

·         Praise your child each day.  Have a special place to put school work or things brought home.

·         Laugh and talk with your child about school day experiences.

·         Stress attendance.  Unless your child is ill, he/she needs to be at school every school day.

·         Keep the lines of communication open between yourself and your child’s teacher.  Inform the teacher of any family situation which could influence your child’s behavior.  Also, if he/she is reluctant to go to school, let the teacher know so that together you can find the reason.

·         Take your child to the library and encourage reading for pleasure.

·         Stress organization of school notebooks, materials, etc.

·         Provide pencils, glue, scissors, paper, and all other required school supplies for your child to use.

·         Work at home with skills taught at school.
