Ten Tips For Good Grades
Study after study has shown that parental involvement is the number one determinant of how well all children do in school. Try these ten
ways to help your kids succeed in the classroom -- and beyond.
#1: Create an environment in your home that encourages learning.
Doing so will have a major influence on how well your children do in school. Make sure that appropriate materials -- from puzzles to paints to computers -- are available to stimulate their curiosity.
#2: Provide your children with a well-balanced life.
A stable home filled with love serves as a solid foundation for getting straight A’s.
Establish routines so your children get enough sleep, eat regular, nourishing meals, and exercise.
#3: Read to your children every day.
Most of the learning your children achieve in school involves reading. Read to your kids to raise their interest in reading, to expand and enrich their vocabularies, and to broaden their experiences.
#4: Encourage them to read extensively.
The more children read, the better their reading skills become. Make sure there is a wide variety of interesting reading materials in your home to encourage the reading habit.
#5: Show your children how to be organized.
One of the best ways to teach organizational skills is through example. Show your children how to use such organizational tools as assignment pads, calendars, notebooks, binders, and backpacks.
#6: Teach them effective study skills.
Good study skills are absolutely essential to get good grades. Encourage them to have a regular time for studying, and provide a study place that is free of distractions.
#7: Urge your children to listen and participate in class.
Listening in class is the easy way for children to learn. Advise your older children to take notes, which will help them concentrate on what is being said.
#8: Help your children learn how to tackle homework.
Doing homework reinforces what your children learn in school. Help them learn what assignments to do first and how to plan their time. Encourage them not to rush through their homework.
#9: Talk to your children about school.
Your children spend hours in school every day. Show that you are genuinely interested in their day by asking questions about what they did and talking with them about the papers they bring home.
#10: Develop a good relationship with your children’s teachers.
Be sure to attend parent-teacher conferences, visit your kids’ classrooms, and volunteer to help their teachers. And don't forget to
express your appreciation to teachers for all that they do for your children.
