* Read together! A child who reads regularly with a parent performs
better in school.
* Establish a routine for homework. Set aside a quiet time for your
child to work and encourage your student to study.
* Work with your child. Help them study their spelling words and
math facts. This will help your child feel more confident.
* Keep the lines of communications open with your child's teacher
and school. Parents who are involved, have a successful student.
* Be positive about your child's progress. By focusing on the
positives, your child will feel more secure.
* Look through your child's papers regularly. When you show an interest
in their school work, often the student works harder to succeed.
* Set limits. Don't be afraid to set limits on TV, video games, and
computer time during the school week.
* Teach responsibility. Your child is maturing into a real student,
so make them responsible for their education. Have your child
place homework in their backpacks on their own.
* Make learning the main priority. Find excitement in learning
and demonstrate that you want to learn as well.
* Have fun with your child as you both learn together!
