On the weekend and on vacations remember to help your child be a life learner by applying the skills they are learning at school to things they are doing at home and around town.  For example,

• While watching TV.... ask "What do you think will happen next?"  (prediction) 
• Have them tell about a character and how what the character says helps to define the character.
• Talk about the setting of a TV show or of a book.  How does this set the mood for the story?
• Have your student summarize a story without retelling it.
• Write poetry.
• Have them keep a journal.
• Have them cook with you and use measuring cups.  Ask "Which is more a teaspoon or a tablespoon?"
• Read the newspaper or discuss the news you watch on TV or hear on the radio.
