Support strategies for home

What you can do at home to help:

*Make 10 frames!
*Make fact families with 3 related numbers (2 parts and 1 whole)
*Write a paragraph using a topic "green" sentence, 3 detail "yellow" sentences, and a concluding or "WOW!" "red" sentence
*Show them a picture and have them write about it
*Have them read to you and ask comprehension questions with some depth, such as character traits or inferences (not obvious meanings)
*Encourage the kids to do their best in preparing for 2nd grade, both academically as well as behaviorally
