  • The most important way to help your child improve their grades is to be genuinely interested in what they learn. This is different than checking to see “What is due tomorrow?”.  We know discussion is the foundation of all learning. Talk to your child about what they did in school, how they felt about the lessons, where they feel strong or where they feel they could use help. Do not accept ‘nothing’ or ‘boring’ for answers. Be cheerfully willing to draw your child into talking with you about school. You have heard about reading 20 minutes a day; it is so much more powerful when a discussion about the reading follows. Setting aside a quite space and a particular time of the day to help them with homework is beneficial. Remember homework should be easy enough for the child to do practically all by his/herself.  Homework is to help your child become flexible and fluent with information, not learn it all over again. If the homework is too difficult talk to your teacher about work the child can do independently. Above all, talk about your school and your student’s teachers respectfully. Children want to please parents, if they know you respect their teacher your child will work hard in school. Teachers at Nibley Park work very hard to prepare thoughtful engaging lesson and are eager to talk to you about your child.
