FOREWORD
This is the question we parents are always trying to answer. It's
good that children ask questions: that's the best way to learn.
All children have two wonderful resources for learning --
imagination and curiosity. As a parent, you can awaken your
children to the joy of learning by encouraging their imagination
and curiosity.
'Helping Your Child Succeed at School' is one in a series of
books on different education topics intended to help you make the
most of your child's natural curiosity. Teaching and learning are
not mysteries that can only happen in school. They also happen
when parents and children do simple things together.
For instance, you and your child can: sort the socks on laundry
day -- sorting is a major function in math and science; cook a
meal together -- cooking involves not only math and science but
good health as well; tell and read each other stories --
storytelling is the basis for reading and writing (and a story
about the past is also history); or play a game of hopscotch
together -- playing physical games will help your child learn to
count and start on a road to lifelong fitness.
By doing things together, you will show that learning is fun and
important. You will be encouraging your child to study, learn,
and stay in school -- important goals for any child.
This book is a way for you to help meet these goals. It will give
you a short run-down on facts, but the biggest part of the book
is made up of simple, fun activities for you and your child to do
together. Your child may even beg you to do them.
It has been said:
"The first teachers are the parents, both by example and
conversation. But don't think of it as teaching. Think of it as
fun."
So, let's get started. I invite you to find an activity in this
book and try it.

Joy?
Ö : F7 ŠINTRODUCTION
How do you feel about your years in school? If you have happy
memories, chances are you can help your children be excited about
learning and have good memories, too. If you disliked school,
it's harder, but you can do lots of things to help make school a
better experience for your children than it was for you.
The good news is that every child in every family has the power
to succeed in school and in life, and every parent, grandparent,
and care-giver can help.
But how do we help our children succeed? How do we give them the
power? The most important thing we can do is be involved with our
children's education even before they are in school, then stay
involved once they are in school.
This book is about what we can do in our own homes, right now,
that will help our children go to school wanting to learn. It
includes:
* Basic information on what we know about success in school;
* Activities for children ages 5-11 to help them acquire the
skills to succeed;
* Questions and answers about when to talk to the teacher and how
to handle parent-teacher conferences.
Success in school takes hard work, planning, a few basic skills,
and the will to want to succeed. How do we pass these ideas on to
our children?
What we know about success in school is a combination of common
sense mixed with new ideas about learning.
We do know the following:
1. Where our children learn is important. We can find inexpensive
and easy things to do at home -- where our children first start
learning -- that will make them want to learn. We can also
strengthen our ties with the community and the schools, where
learning continues.
2. What our children learn from us is important. What we say and
do can build their maturity and self-confidence.
