How much help should I give my child with homework?

Homework is intended to be a review of learned skills. You may need to help 
with directions and guidance in getting started. If your child is spending 
more than 20 minutes on any given "task" please let me know so we
can work 
together to help your child.

Should I still read to my child ?

Definitely! Reading a book that is more challenging to your child can improve 
their vocabulary. Discussing the book will enhance comprehension skills. 
Listening to adults read helps promote fluency.

How can I help my child learn the sight vocabulary?

Put the sight words handed out at Back To School Night on flashcards and work 
with them every night.  In addition you can add color words and number words 
to the pile.
