•                WHAT PARENTS CAN DO

    ·        Read to your child every night!

    The increased exposure to vocabulary will help them be successful in all areas.

     

    ·        Know who your child’s friends are!

    Learn the names of new acquaintances, know where they live, call their parents and introduce yourself.

     

    ·        Know where your child is!

     
    Require your child to be specific about his/her whereabouts and to check with you frequently.

     

    ·        Establish or maintain a routine.

    Start with getting into a set time for breakfast, dinner, showers, reading/studying and bedtime.  Be sure your children are on time for school.  Punctuality and attendance are crucial to your child’s education.

     

    ·        Ask specific questions about your child’s school day.
     

    “How was school today? What did you learn today?  What do you have for homework tonight?
