The Importance of Parent Involvement What you say matters! o Parents what you say to your child matters. o 90% of all learning takes place at home o Comments such as: “I was never good at math (spelling, reading…etc.)” should be avoided. Statements like this gives your child permission to fail. o Positive reinforcement: o We can work on this for five minutes everyday o We can learn it together o We can make it fun and simple How to Study and Get Results o Environment that allows the student to focus o This is individual to each student o Study should be in regular, doable intervals o Model: Half hour of work – ten minute break o Frustration yields no results! § Avoid emotional conflict – Step away from the work! · Take a walk · Have a snack · Get out and get moving § Then come back and try a different approach o Learning is active! o Reading – out loud o Math – work it out on paper and verbally
