Should I assist my child with homework assignments?
Please feel free to assist your child as needed on any homework assignments. Most assignments being sent home are review from lessons taught during the day. Our goal is that the students are able to practice these concepts at home. The continued practice at home and school will hopefully lead to mastery of the concept.Back to Top
How can I help my child with reading?
It is so important to practice, practice, and practice. At this age, children need a great deal of exposure to various types of literature including fiction and nonfiction texts. Our goal is to enable children to feel successful as they read. To avoid undue frustration, I recommend choosing books that your child can read without too much assistance. Reading a story should be enjoyable for a child, not painstaking. The town library offers a wide variety of books for children at all different reading levels. Children should also be able to retell the characters, setting, and events in a story. If a book is too difficult children often are not able to comprehend what they have read. I recommend teaching children that reading is an enjoyable part of your nightly routine.Back to Top
