Encourage your child to read as often as possible. Model reading at home so that your child sees that reading is important. Talk about things that you do together, so your child will hear a variety of vocabulary. For math, look at the work that comes home in the Thursday folder so you will know what your child is learning in school. Ask questions about the concepts you see covered on the work sent home. Ask addition, subtraction, and multiplication facts to your child to keep them in practice. Show interest in what they are doing in school, as you look over their work in their folders on Thursdays.
