Should I help my child with their homework?
Should I help my child with their homework?
Yes! Please help them with the instructions, directions, and give them
guidance. However, please let your child complete their own homework, and do
not let a sibling or a parent do the work for them.
What can I do to help my child in reading?
It's always a good idea to read every day to your child. Spending time going
over the letters and their sounds is also valuable. Play rhyming games. (How
many words can you think of that rhyme with cat?) Always check their reading
homework and review vocabulary. Have them read to you. Help them to figure
out tricky words by using picture and letter clues -- not by giving them the
answer.
What should I do if my child comes to a word he/she doesn't know?
Encourage them to use the reading strategies taught. This includes: Looking
for picture clue, sounding (tapping with their fingers) out the word,
skipping over the word to see what would make the most sense, chunking the
words, and looking at how the word is spelt.
