The more in charge of her education she can be at home, the more confidence she'll bring to the classroom. Ask your child to teach you about something she's interested in. Your child will love having you as a pupil and will be motivated to find out all she can about her chosen topic. Encourage and appreciate her questions. Help her make connections to things she already knows.
People learn by comparing and contrasting new information with what they already know.
Touch and hold your child while she is learning new things. Anything goes better when you feel that someone loves you, and learning is no exception. Listen when your child talks about things she is learning. Encourage your child to be active while she's learning. All children like to move.
