How can I help my kids math, reading & writing, science, etc?

BigTree questioned:
My elder daugher will turn 10 soon (grade 4).I found her school learning schedule is pretty loose. If we do not find some homework for her, she can watch TV, play with dog, or do some art work all day. I felt it’s time to share part of my time with her to help her do more math problem solving, Read & write and science. I can not find a excellent pace to follow. Sometimes, searching internet can find some site with list of questions which are excellent but felt can not follow for a long term. Who can introduce me what kind of excellent material I can find? Tell me what you do? Share some of your successful tales? My goal is helping her build a strong acadmic base, self-learning ability in the next couple of years. I am living in Alberta, Canada. Thanks a lot.

you need to become part of a excellent home schooling group. you will have to pay for the supplies, but it will be well worth it.
or are you just looking for a supplement for her schooling? in that case, you can always buy books from amazon.com that are similar, but more complex from the ones she has at school.
Hi . As the matter of fact math is a lesson that most of student do not like that because the cannot know the use of that in future . But a excellent thought to stick your daughter to math(!!) is just tell her start solving your book problems or suggest her to buy some books that learn math with games it can help her I hope…
the BEST thing you can do with her is READ. go to the library as often as possible and borrow books. take turns reading – you’ll serve as a fantastic reading model, but she should have the practice too. reading is directly linked to vocabulary development. it will improve your daughter’s comprehension in all subjects, because most other subjects rely on brilliant reading skills (science, writing, social studies).
for math, i’d question your child’s teacher if he/she could send home some extra materials (worksheets, etc) that you can use for reinforcement of what your daughter is learning at school. you can also find workbooks at any teacher supply store or on amazon.com.
a fantastic way to get her writing would be to set up a pen pal! introduce her to one of your friend’s children who she can write to regularly…it will be fun for her because it’s real and meaningful practice, not just “skill drill.”
