Parents can help children learn by...
• Checking agendas and homework regularly
• Creating a regular time & place for homework
• Asking their child to read to them in English
• Asking questions about what the child reads
• Asking their child to teach what was learned in math, science, social studies, etc.
• Asking about their child’s day at school (e.g., social interactions, class work, homework)
• Reading and speaking to their child in the home language (learning in one language transfers to another)
• Taking their child to the library weekly

Language Learning
• Language learners may take 6-9 years to reach the level of their English first language peers
• Home language skills help students learn a second language
• If teachers, parents and students work together, students will succeed!
