Your
child’s homework should only take 10 minutes at the most. If it is taking longer, stop! Just put a note on the paper for me to know
they had a struggle.
Please
send back the finished homework everyday.
It’s easier to go over where they had a problem the night before the
next morning while it’s still fresh.
Have
a special place set up for them to do their homework. Also set a specific time for them to their
work. This will set up a pattern for
when they get older.
The
book reading can be done at the same time as the written or saved to do just
before bedtime. Ask them to show you a
word on the page so that you know they are learning to recognize their sight
words, not just reciting the story from memory.
Please
note when they are writing that they are starting at the top when forming
letters and numbers and that they go to the left when making any circle
letters. The more they write the easier
it will be and the faster they become.
