Family Learning: How to Help Your Children Succeed in School by Learning at HomeThe activities in this book will help parents supplement and encourage their child's classroom learning as well as emphasize the importance of learning as a family unit. The lessons are divided into the following groups: language, mathematics, science, geography and astronomy, history, the world, and character development. Both kids and parents will enjoy and be challenged by educational lessons such as determining the chemistry of a candle flame, playing family Scrabble, celebrating historic events, or having family read-alouds. Family Learning shows that there is a difference between schooling and learning, and demonstrates specific things parents can do to dramatically impact their child's education. |
