Homework fun

Are you looking for ways to strengthen your child's academic skills?  Are you looking for things your child can do to set up a great foundation for learning?  Are there weak areas that need to be shored up before he gets too far behind?  Has a teacher expressed concern about your child's progress in math or reading?  Would you like to see your child increase her concentration, coordination, sense of order, or independence?

These activities promote learning, and your child will ask to use them.  Once he's interested, he will repeat the steps again and again until he masters them.  These materials are especially effective when parents, or other caring people, spend time using them with children.
