Families often want to help their child at home to do better in school but they are not sure what to do. Below are some ideas of things families can do at home which will provide practice for children in skills they need for school.
Talk to your child about what s/he is learning in school. Ask him/her to explain to you as though you never learned it.
Provide a quiet place for your child to do his/her homework. Some children need a structured schedule so they do homework at the same time every school day. It is best to have an area where your child can write (like a table or desk) and that is free from distractions.

Check your child's homework every night before s/he turns it in. Even if the parent does not understand how to do the homework, check to assure the assignment is completed. If your child has an agenda which lists his/her homework, check that all assignments listed have been completed.
