Challenge your child to a writing game
Effective writing connects individual ideas into an overall whole. To help your child practice making these connections, get several index cards and have your child write the name of a different thing or idea on each. Next, draw four cards. Can your child use all the ideas in a single sentence? For example, if the cards said "toys," "trip," "sunny" and "teachers," your child might write, "On sunny days, teachers let students take their toys on school trips."

For a great parent-teacher conference, do a little homework
Attending a parent-teacher conference, either in person or online, is one of the important ways you can work with the teacher to help your child learn. To prepare for your conference, make a list of things to tell the teacher about your child (interests, strengths, challenges, etc.). Make another list of things to ask about (grades, behavior, attitude, friends, etc.). Be sure to ask your child for suggestions about what you and the teacher should discuss, too.

Bedtime reading ends the day a special way
Finding time to read with your child can sometimes be a challenge. But with a little planning, bedtime reading can be one of the best parts of your day. Visit the library and choose seven books for the week. Set them near your child's bed. Each day, say, "We'll read this book tonight. Tomorrow, we'll get to read another." This lets your child know that reading is an important part of your day, too. At breakfast, talk together about the book you read the night before.

We're flipping the script to make a trip to the office a HUGE moment of recognition. Our teachers are catching students being awesome—showing kindness, working hard, and demonstrating respect—and sending them down to be celebrated! 🤩
Set up a study routine to foster positive habits
To help your child develop positive study habits, establish a regular study time at home. Turn off digital devices and minimize background distractions. At the start, make sure your child reads and understands assignment directions. To foster time management skills, have your child estimate how long each assignment will take and then time how long it really takes. Show support by doing your own work quietly nearby.

Choice and charts help children take responsibility for chores
Chores teach kids about responsibility. To get your kids to pitch in, write weekly chores on slips of paper. If a job has to be done daily, write it on six slips. Put the slips in a jar. Then, make a chart with each child's name down the side and the days of the week across the top. Have your kids take turns drawing jobs. Let them choose what day to do them and put their chores on the chart. One day a week, don't assign chores. Just write, "See what you can do to help."

Take time out for family
How can you help your family find more time for togetherness in a fast-paced world? Call a family "time out." Stop and talk about what you'd like to do as a family and how to achieve it. Set specific goals, such as eating dinner together four times a week. Post goals where you will all see them. Childhood doesn't last forever, so make family time a priority now. You'll have time for other activities later on.

Help your child make deposits in a 'word bank'
Young writers often have trouble thinking of words to write. Making a word bank helps your child think of words in advance. Say a common word and ask your child to write a list of words with similar meanings. For "said," for example, your child might write words like "whined," "shouted," "whispered," "yelled," etc. Your child can also make lists of words about a particular topic. Collect the lists in a "word bank" binder. When writing, your child can check the bank to find just the right word.
