Tips for Parents and Families

There are many things that you can do as parents to guide your student along a strong developmental path. Here are some helpful tips to give your student an advantage at home, which will transfer to the classroom.

Read, read, read

Take every opportunity to read with your student to foster the joy of learning that also develops thinking and reasoning skills. Make the kitchen, living room and their bedrooms into “reading zones.” Devote some time every day to read short stories, homework or anything particularly challenging for them.

Make it fun!

Games can be exceptional learning tools. Board games, card games, memory games and word games subtly engage a child in learning essential problem-solving skills as they have fun! Showing them how much fun learning can be will make them more eager to learn.

Embrace technology

Computers, tablets and mobile devices have access to all sorts of educational resources that can help your child learn in many different ways. From games to writing to reading, technology offers ways to engage students as they learn. Let them get used to technology. The sooner they learn, the more comfortable they will be in the future.

Encouragement is golden

Remember to encourage students throughout their learning process. Positive reinforcement goes a long way to help a developing mind to absorb information. Mistakes should not be cause for concern. Instead, view them as learning opportunities to learn and grow from.

Count, write, read

Practice, repetition and routine help a young mind develop skills faster as students become more comfortable with the skills they master. Set time aside to count with your student. Let them write stories for you and read them together. This little bit of effort can make a world of difference in the long run.
