Learning Can Take Place At Home
*Make sure your child gets enough sleep each night.
*Develop routines with your child. For example, set a bedtime hour, a homework time and place, and a wake-up time.
*Ask the teacher what activities you can do at home to back up what is learned in the classroom.
*Keep track of how much television your child watches. According to the National assessment of Education 1994 Reading Report Card for the Nation and the States, if your child watches more than three hours of TV a day, his or her reading will suffer.
*Have pencils, crayons, paper, scissors, and glue at home so your child can practice what he or she has learned or has time to be creative.
*Make up games as you do your daily chores. For instance, you can ask, "What is this and what is it used for?' (Examples: broom, mop and vacuum cleaner). Have your child read labels on cans or boxes as you put them away.
*Read to your child from material that is at a higher level than what he or she usually reads. Read to your child even if he or she is reading by himself or herself.
*Talk with your child about the names of the days of the week, the months of the year, and seasons.
*Ask your child to explain to you the things he or she is learning in school. Ask specific questions, such as , "Did you learn any new words (new ideas, now facts, or new songs)? or "What story did you read today?"
*Read out loud when you are with your young child. Read signs, billboards, ads, magazines, or comics. Point out such words a s"exit", "start", "on", "off", and "stop."
*Put labels on things on things in the house. You or your child can label things like "door," "window," "table," "chair," and "floor," and read them.
*Read nursery rhymes and poems to your child.
