Purchase alphabet letters and numbers for your tub and fridge. Expose your child to letters as often as possible. Use the letters to write your toddlers name or other simple objects familiar to him/her like dog, cup, or milk. This will help your child make the connection between written and spoken language.

Ask your child to teach you something she learned in school today. People remember 10 percent of what they read, 20 percent of what they hear, 30 percent of what they see, 50 percent of what they see and hear, 70 percent of what they say as they talk aloud and 90 percent of what they say as they perform a task. Teaching is talking and performing. When your child teaches you a concept introduced in school, she has mastered it. From: thebabycorner.com
Always be your child’s advocate, but never become the teacher’s adversary. If you feel your child has been wronged, defend her. Call the teacher, have a conference, work things out the best you can, but don’t make the teacher the enemy. When parents and teachers are openly hostile toward each other, the child almost always becomes the loser. From: thebabycorner.com Tags: education, backtoschool, learning

Establish a homework routine. Decide with your child on a time each night to do homework and stick to it. Kids like knowing when things will happen, rather than being caught off guard.
