Dear Parents,
There are some do's and don't in helping your child with homework.
Do make sure that child has a pair of scissors, glue stick, and crayons to do homework.
Do praise child for waiting for instructions to be read, following them, focusing on the assignment, doing work neatly.
Praising, describe what you see. For example, instead of saying "Good job" say "I noticed you controlled a crayon and did not let it go out of the picture." "I see that you keep scissors on a line while cutting".
Do correct pencil or crayon grip.
Do use recommended website (posted on our blog as a part of "This week we learned" entry) to help your child learn letters and sounds.
Do let us know if child experience any difficulties doing homework.
Helping a child to learn how to write a letter, do write with a highlighter using only upper case letters.
Do know that sometimes children flip letters while writing. It is age appropriate. But still, show a child how letter should look like.
Do write comments on child's homework. It is greatly appreciated!
Do not do homework for your child! NONE! No coloring, not even gluing! I know you love your child and ready to take any difficult task upon yourself.
Be positive and be patient.
