Ways to help raise kids’ grades

(StatePoint) School can be tough, but parents can help by making sure students have all the tools and study habits they need to succeed. Here are ways to help raise children’s grades. Make Space It may be tempting for kids to stretch out in front of the television while they do their homework, but a dedicated study space will be more eff ective and help students stay organized. Place a desk or study table in a well-lit area of the home and ensure it has all the supplies your student will need to be successful. Make Music Studies show that learning music is good for the brain. Music education can enhance language development, is associated with spatial intelligence, and can even raise scores on standardized tests.
