1. Establish a regular study time. Find a schedule that works for your child and your family, but avoid late-night study times. If the schedule varies from day to day because of extracurricular activities, write it out and post it prominently.
2. Be available during study time. Children like to have someone on hand who can answer questions if they come up. If no one is around to help your child, have him or her save questions for when you get home.
3. Look over completed assignments. Check each day to see that your child¹s homework has been completed. When your child¹s teacher returns completed assignments, look them over to see if your child is having any problems.
4. Figure out how your child learns best. Does he work better alone or with others? Does she learn more easily when she can see things, touch them, or hear them? Maybe you can help by finding a study group, by providing visual aids, or by reading materials and directions aloud.
5. Help your child prepare for tests. Review with your child what he needs to study for upcoming tests, and create a study schedule. Create a practice test you can give at home, and talk about test-taking skills such as making sure to read directions thoroughly. ______________________________
