10. How Can We Help At Home? The best preparation is to steadily build skills. Children who master math and reading fundamentals, such as; phonics, reading comprehension strategies, and facts, will be prepared for more complex questions and concepts, and will ultimately perform better on tests. ●Practice math facts daily for 15 minutes- Reflex Math ●Children should be reading daily to themselves and aloud to parents for best results. Reading fluency and comprehension are gained through consistent exposure to literature. ●Ask your child questions about the books they are reading.
