As a parent, how can I help my Child learn?

Research has shown that this begins with a very simple idea.  It can start simply by modeling for your child that YOU value learning.  Show that you are interested in your child's learning. Ask your child questions about what they are learning in school and keeping abreast of their progress is a foundation strategy that promotes a student's success

 

 

  

 

TIPS FOR PARENTS

GENERAL INFORMATION:

Make school a priority .

Don't put to  much pressure on your child.

Praise your child. Judge success by the efforts being made more so than the grades being earned.

Build your child's confidence.

Show interest in your child's life.  Reach out to the teachers, ask your child questions about school, what's going well, what's not?  Keep the school informed of things you may see in your child.

Set clear expectations.

 
HOMEWORK INFORMATION

Create a  routine- Make a schedule for after school including homework, sports, other activities, and household responsibilities.

Set goals and time limits, allowing your child to take breaks.

Set up a quiet and comfortable area to study- this area should be where the child does his work all of the time.

Make sure to check your child's assignment notebook to ensure  he or she is completing their homework

Help your child plan for long tern projects- set up a calendar to help space out the completion of the project.
