Follow these simple school year resolutions in order to help your child succeed this year.

• Read the School Handbook – and be sure you do it with your child.

• Review Math Facts and Spelling Words. Review last year’s. Get out last year’s flash cards and use them!

• Talk to the Teacher – Open those lines of communication right from the start. If you meet regularly with your child’s teacher, you can help fill in the gaps when your child needs extra help or misses a lesson.

• Make Reading Flash Cards – Get your child’s new reading textbook and make a set of flash cards to use this year.

• Make a Daily Calendar – Work with your child to make a calendar where together you list school and after-school activities, including homework. Homework should be a daily activity for you both.

• Establish an End-of-the-Day Routine - At the end of the day, your child’s routine should include doing homework, talking about the day and preparing for the next day.
