Reading
* Some children are not yet ready to read the whole selection on their own. You may want to take turns reading with them.
* Reading should be fun. Try to quit before your child gets frustrated.
* Encourage your child to predict what will happen by looking at the pictures & remembering what they read at school.
* Try having them earn something for having a good homework attitude. Hugs & stickers might work. They could earn points towards something larger, like TV time. (something short of a new car or a trip to Hawaii)
Writing
* When your child is writing help them organize their thoughts. Have them repeat the sentence so they can get it set in their mind before they write it down.* Some kids will need you to write what they said for them. Then, they can copy it.
* There is no point in doing their homework for them. They won't learn & it breaks down their confidence.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
