Tips for Parents to Help With Math

Talk Positively About Math - Show excitement about math - even if it wasn't your favorite subject. A positive attitude is contagious!
Ask "How" and "Why" Questions - Encourage your child to explain their thinking. This builds understanding, not just memorization.

Reading is like breathing in, and writing is like breathing out. - Pam Allyn, literacy advocate and founder of LitWorld

Becoming readers and writers

A child’s writing development parallels the child’s development as a reader. Part of early print awareness is the realization that writing can be created with everyday tools such as pens, pencils, crayons, and markers. Children begin to imitate the writing that they see around them. What often starts as scribbling ends up being important clues to a young child’s understanding that print carries meaning.
