How much should I help with my child's homework?
Your child should attempt the homework on his/her own at first. Homework is
a review from classroom lessons, therefore the material should look
familiar. If your child still has questions, then you should help by
rereading and explaining the directions.
--------------------------------------
How often should I read with my child?
Your child should be reading EVERY NIGHT! You can have your child read
independently or with an adult at home.
--------------------------------------
Is it important to memorize math facts?
Yes, it is important that your child takes at least 10 minutes a day to
review math facts. Review activities can range from flashcards, to fact
worksheets, to computer games, or simply just sitting at the kitchen counter
with another person and calling out facts! Our Everyday Math Program
stresses the importance of fact power through practice, game playing and
Fact Minutes. Knowing the facts now, will make it much easier for your child
to work at a higher level.
