How you can supportyour child at home: • Sensible bedtime • Healthy diet – eat breakfast • Drink plenty of water at home and school. • Encourage your child positively, without putting too much pressure on him/her. • Support with homework – provide a quiet place for work, share the targets, refer to the study guides you bought/loaned • Use revision guides and websites to support your child’s learning. • Read with your child, discussing the content and choice of words the author has made. Ask your child questions about their reading, encouraging them to identify words or phrases to back up their answers.
