Use a variety of formats for practice. There are many good math computer games, as well as flash cards and music CDs. Point out ways that math is used in daily life. How can I help my child become a better writer? Have your child write thank-you notes, shopping lists, to do lists, wish lists, etc. Ask your child to write about their feelings and experiences in a journal.

Most students will be able to meet their goals during this time. However, if your child is falling behind in AR, he/she can read AR books at home. Please write the name of the book and the author on a sheet of paper and place in the homework folder. The student can take a test on it the following day. Please help supply your child with interesting books in his/her reading level. |
