Parents and Students

Here are a few tips to help students develop their learning skills while not in the classroom.

Take a reading, workbook, or a magazine on the way somewhere like to the dentist office, the mall, or grocery store.

Students can read out loud while riding in the car and parents can help the student sound out words, or assist them through workbook problems.

Make sure that the book is on the student's grade level or one level ahead if the student is an advance reader. Try not to give the student reading materials that are too difficult because the experience should be fun and successful. Slow readers should not read books that are difficult for them to read as it will take away from the learning experience.

Parents should try and read with the student every night with both the student and parent being active participants. While reading both the student and the parent can sound and act out the characters in the story. This way reading can be much more fun and interesting.

Parents and the student can ask certain questions about the story to get the student's mind to think critically. Asking questions about the story can help the student's comprehension skills and get their mind to develop even more. Parents can ask questions like, why do you think that happened?

Have the student to provide their opinion about the story and also come up with multiple choice answers that the student can choose. Having the student to give their own opinion can help them answer questions better orally and on written tests. The multiple choice option can help build the student's skills for test taking.

“Reading is like riding a bike. You watch little ones beginning to ride a bike; they’re wobbling all over the place. But as we practice and practice, we don’t even think about pedaling anymore. Eventually we can ride with no hands.”

DID YOU KNOW?

By helping your child be successful in school, you are helping to guarantee their success in life.

The student should continue practicing the subject until they become better and can perform the task smoothly. As the student progress they can move on to do more challenging tasks.

Students should use time at home to study and find ways they can implement their learning while having a little fun. Both the parent and the student can come up with ideas of how to incorporate key subjects into their day to day experiences. Such as going over math problems while baking, learning math problems on the computer game, or while playing a sport, or rewarding the student when they can solve problems, or demonstrate what they have learned in a particular subject.

Students should be encouraged to share what they have learned on a daily basis. They should also be encourage to discuss what they find challenging so that the parent and family members can try and assist the student in everyway possible.

Family members can use game time to help develop their student. For example, while riding in the car, the parent can scramble words and have everyone in the car to try and figure out the word. The words should be on the level of the student. The parent can give math problems at an enjoyable time to try and help the student develop their math skills.

To help a student to develop their comprehension skills, parents or the student can use their students favorite movie or TV program friends etc. to discuss things that have occurred and what might be the outcome in the end of a situation; giving the student a few choices to select from and having them to eliminate the answers that are not key, next have the student to come down to two answers that might be correct, and finally have the student to determine their final answer.

Implementing subjects into fun time is just one of the successful ways to help students feel good about learning, and a good way to increase their learning skills; all while the family is spending time together.

These types of learning experiences will help the student to develop long life learning experiences and not just structured book learning. Students should learn how to include practical experiences that will assist them in developing academically for the current time, and that they can use to throughout the course of their life.

Meet the Challenge!

Millions of students have some sort of anxiety as a result of their grades.

When students know how to add fun in their learning experiences, work hard, study and have motivation from parents helping them to set goals, the student can become a high achiever.

If the student needs a little extra help that will require a tutor, both the parent and student should eagerly find someone that can help the child's develop. The sooner the student has a tutor, the better. Parents should not wait too long before they add an additional resource to help the students academic development.

The student should remember to always work hard and know that the MORE effort they put into learning the more SUCCESSFUL they will be!!!
