Parents only want what is best for their children, and most are willing to do whatever it takes to help their child be successful in school.
Helping a child to become an independent reader is one of the greatest gifts a parent can give.
Read aloud, listen, and ask questions daily. Sleepy children have a tough time
succeeding academically. It is particularly important for your child to get a good night’s sleep the night before a big test. For most elementary school children, 10 hours of sleep every night is best.
