How Can I Help My Child Succed? Read Everyday! Take turns at reading to your child and having your child read to you, asking questions to promote comprehension skills. Be positive, speaking well of school and learning. Encourage your child to talk about all of the fun things they have done or are going to do at school. Create a consistent after-school routine including meal times, homework, and playtime (creating a visual display of this for your child can be very beneficial). Ensure your child is getting plenty of sleep on a school night, so they are fresh for school in the morning. Encourage your child in all aspects of academics, praising them in both their academics and their success. Teach your child to be responsible in their actions, encourating them to take responsibility for getting ready. Stay involved! If interested, inquire about ways to support your child's learning at home. Communicate! Keep in regular contact with your child's teacher.
