Ways to support your child’s learning throughout the school year:
- read with your child for 20-30 minutes every night
- have your child talk about what they read using complete sentences (at least 5 sentences)
- ask your child to tell you about a successful moment each day and set goals for the next day
- use opportunities throughout the day to promote learning (having children help count money or calculate costs when shopping, letting them practice making change, skip counting on a walk around the block, etc.)
