Some Tips For Parents

• Design a home learning environment that is appropriate to your student's learning style.
• Secure the resources (e.g., paper, pens, dictionary, etc.) that your child will need.
• Establish a routine time for homework and special class projects and allow for balanced leisure activities.
• Promote sound time management skills allowing attention to all subjects and planning for long- range projects (book reports, essays).
• Encourage games and leisure time activities that require reasoning, computation, and problem-solving skills. Allow your child to participate in building things, fixing things, cooking, and related tasks.
• Monitor television watching and encourage viewing that can compliment the educational experience.
