  9. What you can do to help your child… ***Reading: make sure that your child is reading at least a half an hour each night. I require at least one independent book per month. ***Be an editor – All professional writers have others who edit their work! The best way to edit is to read your writing OUT LOUD. ***Ask your child to tell you about their day ***With your child, occasionally look through their backpack and binder, helping to organizer papers.
