Ways to make your child's homework assignments more challenging
1. When your child brings something to school on Monday that begins with the letter that we're learning about, have him/her try to sound out and write the word for what he/she is bringing to school.
2. For the homework that your child is supposed to write the words of the week 5 times each, have him/her write a sentence using each word of the week instead. Remind him/her to start with a capital letter, put a space between each word, and put a period at the end of the sentence.
3. For the homework that your child is supposed to practice writing the letters, have him/her sound out and write 5 words that begin with the letter instead.
4. For the homework that your child is supposed to color the pictures that begin with the letter that we're learning that week, have him/her sound out and write the words that begin with the letter we're studying.
