Reading at Home Tip
Once is not enough! Encourage your child to re-read favorite stories. This helps to build fluency, speed, and accuracy.
Math at Home Tip
Parenting Tip
Use different words to describe your emotions. For example, instead of saying “I’m happy we all get to spend the weekend together” try using a word like “grateful” or “thankful” or “glad.” Exposing your child to more words can help build his emotional vocabulary. Sean Slade, director of the Whole Child Initiative at the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, recommends also sharing the reasons behind your feelings. By explaining what makes you tick, you are modeling self-awareness and showing how other people’s actions can affect your moods.
