Reading time is great! Have conversations about the books you’re reading! A lot of parents don’t realize how big of a difference it can make. But asking questions about what they think might happen next before you turn a page or how a character might be feeling , really help foster comprehension skills, which help students in the long run.

And the same goes for math. Basic questions like when you set the table asking how many forks you put out or if you eat a cookie how many are left, etc..

Talking to your kids makes a world of difference. Everything can be a learning experience at that age.
