For children to develop well, practice should also be encouraged at home. No practice, no progress. Children must be motivated to love their reading endeavor and school work in general irrespective of class or grade. At least spend 1 to 2 hours a day with your child working on improving his/her performance. Children love to play, watch television or play video games, also try your best to encourage them to practice their school work. they should spend less time on things that destruct them from practicing school activities. School work should also be extended to home activities. Teach them to love school work and to be eager to read. Learning to read for the 1st time is a difficult routine, it is therefore your responsibility to make sense out of it. Create a mini library at home and buy your child books to read. Be a reader as well so that he/she can be inspired and know that reading is essential..
