Sylvan of Vacaville's Center Director, Angela Hayes, was featured on FOX40 to give advice to parents about how to create a classroom at home during COVID-19 related closures.
Angela advises creating a routine to keep kids on track, and reminds parents that at-home packets do not need to be all completed in the same day.
At-Home Learning Tips
- Use a clean work space, such as a dining room table.
- Keep the work space distraction free.
- Put out all the materials your child will need to complete his or her work ahead of time.
- Let kids do work they can complete independently while parents are busy with their own at-home work. Then, schedule time later in the day to help with tricky subjects or concepts.
- Use rewards to keep your child motivated, whether that's extra TV time or sticker charts.
