Learning can be fun!

Studies show students who frequently read on their own, read faster and comprehend more than the students who read only what they have to for school. Encourage your student to find a book series they enjoy and set aside time each day to nurture that skill. Reading can be one of the most enjoyable activities a person can participate in.

Writing is also another fun activity your student can do to get thoughts flowing quickly. At first have your students write daily for only 5 minutes. Have them write anything that comes to their mind, but not to stop for any reason. After a few weeks, you’ll see changes in their thought and writing fluency. This skill will help in any standardized testing and eventually on the essay portion of the SAT. Keep a journal! Encourage your student to keep a writing log where they can log current thoughts and write about special activities or people in their lives. Journals can be very special for years to come.

Take the time to see the importance of these special moments in your child’s development!
