Support Reading at Home

There are many ways parents and guardians can support their child’s learning at home by staying connected with what’s happening in the classroom. From creating fun, daily learning habits to using district resources, small efforts can make a big difference. Check out these tips to enhance your child’s learning experience and stay informed about what they’re working on.

• Create a "What did you learn today?" board
  Set up a whiteboard or chalkboard at home where kids can write a sentence or two about something new they learned each day. It’s a simple way for parents to get insights into what their child is working on.
   
• Explore curriculum details on our website
  Refer to the curriculum guides on the website, which outline key learning targets for each grade. This helps them know what standards are being covered throughout the school year.
   
• Connect reading material to class topics
  Seek out library books or online resources that align with what their child is studying in class (e.g., if students are learning about habitats, find books or videos on animals and ecosystems).
   
• Encourage independent reading related to classroom themes
  Help students pick books or articles on topics they’re covering at school, such as science or social studies themes. This extends learning beyond the classroom.
   
• Create learning goals with your child
  Along with your student(s), set small, achievable goals related to what they’re learning in class, like mastering multiplication tables or finishing a specific chapter in their reading.
   
• Stay connected with district communications
  Regularly check district newsletters or attend district events where curriculum updates are discussed. These can provide insights on how resources are being used and give practical advice for home learning.
