Smart Starts Tackle Textbooks When your child has a chapter to study, have then “preview” it to increase their understanding. She should glance over headings, graphics, and photos and go to the glossary to look up boldfaced words.

Don’t Fix Every Mistake Oh, no! Your child forgot to take their math homework to school- again! Resist the urge to get in the car and dash to the school. Let your child learn from her mistakes. The consequences of their actions will help them learn to be more responsible next time.

Recipes for Success Vocabulary Start with a short sentence, such as “I went to the store.” Toss a ball back and forth with you child. With each toss, change one word of the sentence without changing its meaning (“I jumped rope to the store”). See how long you can keep going without getting stuck.
