- HOMEWORK ...
It is important that your child complete ALL assigned tasks ON TIME. Helping your child is allowed...but encouraging them to complete their work without excessive assistance...is much more desirable. Take a look at the finished product...ALWAYS!

- READ EVERYDAY ...
Read TO your child, WITH your child, and have your child READ to YOU!
Make sure your child has a quiet place to read to themself also. Make sure to check your child is understanding what they are reading.

- PRACTICE SPELLING ...
Have your child study the BASIC WORD LIST and ask your child to spell various words. You may ask them to spell aloud words you both see on signs etc.

- COUNT AND ORGANIZE ...
Ask your child to count out various items and/or organize items to certain criteria. You can have them sort out, clean-up, and reorganize household items.

- WRITE IT UP ...
Get your child to write each day. This may be done in a diary/journal, creative pieces (poems/stories etc.), making out grocery lists, or even penmanship practice.

- GET A JOB ...
Give your child responsibilities around the house. Make sure they have reasonable chores that they can succeed at, and gain feelings of accomplishment. Give them instructions to follow.

- PRAY TOGETHER ...
Try and take time each day to stop and give thanks to the Lord for each other and your daily blessings. Make this a time you all look forward to spending together.

- EXERCISE ...
Do something physical and fun each day. A healthy body and spirit will come from a good workout. Energy increases when a person exercises and develops physical strength and endurance.
