Communication Matters
Smart talk from your board Speech-Language Pathologists
Did you know that children whose parents are involved in their education do better at school than those with less involved parents? They get better grades, have a better attitude toward school and demonstrate more appropriate behaviour. Consider trying a few of these tips to make a BIG difference.
Tip 1: Get involved
- Attend open houses, book fairs, BBQs, parent/teacher interviews, etc.
Tip 2: Check on homework
- Communicate with your child each day about homework.
- Provide an organized and quiet place for your child to do school work.
- Help your child manage the workload by dividing assignments into smaller parts.
Tip 3: Make home a good place for learning
- Praise and encourage your child.
- Read and encourage your child to read, every day.
- Set aside a few moments daily, to talk with your child about a special interest he or she has.
