To Be Successful a 5th Grader Needs

  1. Parental Supervision – talk & listen to your child, check their homework daily.
  2. A quiet place to work – well lit and away from distractions
  3. Positive Reinforcement – there is no such thing as ‘too much praise’.
  4. Daily Reading and Discussion – have your child read to you, and you read to him/her and talk about what’s been read.
