LEAP Back-to-School! Read Alouds Homework Help Back-to-School Extravaganza

Welcome Introductions Read Alouds Break Homework Help Back-to-School Extravaganza Wrap Up

Stranded on a deserted island… What 3 people would you take with you? They can be living or dead, real or fictitious.

Read Alouds Three steps to a better read aloud: Choose a book Read it to yourself Read it aloud Read alouds should be FUN! Suggestions from LEAP training, library displays, ask a librarian Get comfortable – is it interesting? Are there parts that are funny/scary/exciting? Can you say all the words? To yourself, to someone you trust, to a pet… Don’t be afraid to use expression or act out voices – but be consistent w/voices.

Read Aloud

Read Aloud Break out Session Work in groups of 2-3 Select a book: take turns reading it to yourself read it to a partner or the group talk about: how it went ways to get children more interested in the story what could you do differently? Start around 10:15

Take a break! Start around 10:45

Literacy Activities Homework Can’t we all just get along? Hands-on learning supports education Activities engage different learning styles Learning in a more social setting provides meaningful opportunities Literacy activities can spark a child’s curiosity Homework is not punishment, literacy activities are not a reward

Reasons Homework is Important Improves thinking and memory Helps establish study skills Encourages development of time management skills Promotes independent work habits Promotes accountability Allows for practice/review of what was covered in class Introduces student to various resources Helps parents learn more about what children are learning Extends the school-day learning Allows for skill building Ask for examples: Review/practice what students have already learned Get ready for next class Learn to use resources – libraries, encyclopedia, computers Explore subjects more fully than class time permits DON’T DO THE ASSIGNMENTS FOR THE KID (if parents are doing kids homework, that’s on them) Doing homework for the child can actually limit their self-confidence.

Homework Help Strategies at the Library Ask the student: Do you understand what you are supposed to do? What do you need to finish the assignment? Do you need help in understanding how to do your work? Have you ever done any problems like the ones you are supposed to do now? Do you have everything you need to do the assignment? Does the answer make sense to you? Have the child paraphrase the assignment. Are there words or concepts the child doesn’t understand? Ask the child to consider all the steps that are needed to complete the assignment – do they have everything that is needed? As the child works, check in to make sure they understand the homework – are they struggling with one or more aspects? Is it a subject that you are familiar with enough to provide guidance? Relate this New Homework to something the child may have already done. “349-132 is very similar to the subtraction homework we did last year – do you remember what 9-2 is?” Does the assignment require coloring a graph or using a metric ruler? Is this the answer you expected? Can you explain what you mean by this sentence/paragraph? Still having problems? Suggest the child take a 5 minute break – walk away, shake it off, get some water…

Homework at Home Know the teachers Understand what the teachers expect Create a homework zone at home Set up a homework schedule Use meaningful praise Pinpoint what the issues are Ask open-ended questions

Common Issues for Homework Helpers What if the kids are lethargic or actively uninterested? What if they don’t have notes from class to help explain key concepts? What if their reading comprehension isn’t at the level they need it to be? What if the child is behind? How do we help them get to the appropriate skill level without frustrating them?
