1.) Read together!  Children who read at home with their 
     parents perform better in school.

2.) Establish a family routine for homework.  Set aside a regular,
     quiet time for students to work and encourage your child to
     study.

3.) Keep the lines of communications open with the school.  Parents
     who are involved with the school, have a successful student.

4.) Be positive about your child�s progress.  By focusing on the
     positives, your child feels more successful.

5.) Work with your child.  Help them study their spelling words,
     or prepare for a test, this makes them feel more confident.

6.) Look at your child�s papers regularly.  When you show an interest
     in what your child is doing, often the child works harder to
     succeed.

7.) Set limits.  Don�t be afraid to set limits on TV and video
     games, especially during the school week.

8.) Teach your child to be responsible.  Your child is maturing
     into a real student, so make them responsible for their
     education. Have them put their homework in their backpacks
     on their own.

9.) Make learning the main priority.  Find excitement in learning
     and demonstrating that you want to learn as well.

10.) Have fun with your child as you both live and learn together!
