Help your child set a weekly learning goal

Having students set a weekly learning goal can motivate them to aim high and keep trying. It can also help families make sure students stay on track. Have your child choose a goal and post it on the refrigerator. Then, talk about what steps your elementary schooler will take to reach it. For example, a child who wants to finish a book could decide to read two chapters per day. During the week, check on your child's progress. If problems arise, help your child brainstorm possible solutions.
