How Can I Help?

Parent Reading Strategies• Provide time and a space free from

distractions to read independently.

• Ask your child what topics, events, or activities s/he likes. Look for books that would motivate your child to read.

• Let your child see you reading. Share what you have read.

• Keep track of the time your child spends reading every day.

• Be sure your child has a library card.

• Use technology to build your child’s interest in reading.

Parent Math Strategies• Expose your child to everyday math

(measurements, counting objects/money, shopping)

• Encourage your child to construct numbers in multiple ways. For example, what are some ways that you can make 10 (5+5, 6+4, 8+2, etc.)

• Have your child write or describe fractions in different ways.

• Encourage your child to stick with it whenever a problem seems difficult. This will help your child see that everyone can learn math.

• Praise your child when s/he makes an effort and share in the excitement when he or she solves a problems or understands it for the first time.
