Ways to Help at Home
- Have your child speak and answer questions in complete sentences.
- Read with your child every day.
- Monitor your child’s television, video game, and Internet use.
- Encourage your child to use the library.
- Instead of asking, “How was school?” try asking:
- “What made you smile today?”
- “Who did you sit with at lunch?”
- “Tell me something you know today that you didn’t know yesterday.”
- Haga que su hijo hable y responda preguntas en oraciones completas.
- Lea con su hijo todos los días.
- Monitoree la televisión, los videojuegos y el uso de Internet de su hijo.
- Anime a su hijo a usar la biblioteca.
- En lugar de preguntar, “¿Cómo estuvo la escuela?” intenta preguntar:
- “¿Qué te hizo sonreír hoy?”
- “¿Con quién te sentaste en el almuerzo?”
- “Dime algo que sabes hoy que no sabías ayer”.
