HOMEWORK HINTS
How can you help your child improve his or her grades? Here are some suggestions:
Keep reading to your child books that are moderately above their own reading level. Most children at this age can listen to chapter books. If you read to your child for about twenty minutes to a half hour nightly, it will increase listening skills and comprehension.
Make sure your child reads to you for about fifteen minutes a day. This practice will help him apply reading strategies that will lead to better comprehension.
Make sure she does her homework. Check to make sure she has followed the directions and done the best job she can.
Limit T.V. time and monitor the quality of shows he watches.
Make sure your child gets plenty of rest and goes to bed at a proper time on school nights. And most importantly, make sure your child eats breakfast either at home or at school. Research has shown a healthy diet increases school academic achievement.
Conversation: Talk about subjects at school that your child is learning. Ask questions about her day. Children at this age need lots of talk in order to make meaning of their world.
