Parents often ask how they can help their child to be successful in school. Here are some ideas.
1. Encourage your child to expand his/her answers to questions by explaining his/her thinking. This is especially necessary when your is completing math homework. In class, I ask the children to explain their thinking.
2. Narrate everyday activities like driving or cooking. Explain unfamiliar words to your child to expand his/her vocabulary.
3. When reading to your child, read with expression and use different voices for different characters. Encourage your child to do the same, paying special attention to ending punctuation marks such as exclamation marks and question marks.
4. Help your child improve his/her concentration skills by playing this quick game. Make a motion and have your child repeat the motion and then add another. Take turns adding motions until someone forgets the sequence.
5. Encourage your child to write by having him/her write about things that have meaning to him/her. For instance, have your child write you a note about what happened at school or about a favorite book. Children tend to enjoy writing about things that are meaningful to them.
