THINGS TO WORK ON AT HOME TO IMPROVE YOUR PERFORMANCE AT SCHOOL

• reading
• addition and subtraction facts
• sight words
• spelling words

DETAILS

Reading/Writing

• Have your student write the alphabet from memory several times a week.
• Help your student learn the sight words I have included. Make flash cards and make it a game for them. Maybe have them learn 2 a day and add another 2 the next day.
• If you have books for them to read at home, please read with them or help them read almost daily (just 10 minutes).

Math

• Have your student count by 1s to 120 several times a week. They also need to write the numbers once or twice a week too.
• Help your student learn to count by 2s, 5s, and 10s to 120 several times a week also.
• Give them a book and help them learn to go to random pages up to 120.
• Help them learn even and odd numbers (any number ending with 0,2,4,6,8 is even).

Working on these things for 10 minutes each day will really improve your skills!!!
