The ability to communicate in writing is an important skill in everyday life. Skills such as making a list and putting thoughts into a well-written paragraph are important communication skills. Make sure that the child has writing materials. Provide a dictionary, if possible, so that the child may check the spelling of challenging words. Assist the child in proofreading and editing his or her work.
Different classes study topics in different sequences.
These activities, therefore, may not be directly related to what your child was doing most recently at school. Other activities may include topics your child has already covered. By being aware of the se possibilities, parents can avoid frustrating a child by expecting skills that the child hasn't yet learned, or spending too much time on skills that the child has mastered. If your child has special learning needs, these activities may not be suitable. Parents who are familiar with the modifications their child requires may wish to adapt the activities.
