There are many ways to help your child succeed in first grade.

Reading
-Read to your child and have you child read to you every day. The more students are exposed to literature, the better readers they will become.
-Have your child practice their Reading Word Books every time they are sent home. Make flashcards using these words so you can practice them daily.
