Ways to help your 6th grader be successful:
O Make sure they have the materials they need for class everyday
O Check their agenda O Offer rewards or consequences for having
information written in the agendaO Ask to see the completed work (all graded work is
returned)O Have them explain how they got an answer rather
then just telling you the answer.O Make vocabulary flash cards to review with themO Quiz them over their notesO Read and discuss current events with themO Have them read; it doesn’t matter what they
read, they just need to read.O Have them read aloud to you
