How you can support your child’s learning

Notice Thinking

(even when the answer is incorrect.)

E.g., I like how you have used number bonds to draw part-part-whole model.

Focus on the Learning Over the Work

Learning is the goal of an assignment.

Take a moment to ask your child the purpose of the homework or revision exercise.

E.g., What do you think is the purpose of this writing assignment? Do you know what you need to improve on? How do you intend to do so?

​

Challenge but Don’t Rescue

Teach your child to persevere and embrace struggle and learn to handle unfamiliarity.

Ask questions that will help him/her to develop agency such as:

Can you read the question once more?

What model can you draw?

Can you check the examples in the textbook?

What makes you say that?

E.g., What makes you say that your answer is

correct?

What did you notice that makes you say that?

Dos

Don’ts

  • Believe that your child can learn and wants to learn
  • Praise your child for his/her good effort and progress
  • Set incremental and achievable goals with your child
  • Communicate with your child regularly on his/her learning progress
  • Ensure your child complete homework punctually
  • Read with your child for at least 15 min daily and talk about the story read.
  • Read signs and labels when you’re outdoors with your child

​

  • Place excessive attention on marks
  • Make comparison between your child and other children’s achievement
  • Focus on answers only.
  • Unknowingly affirm speed over accuracy. Don’t allow your child to have play time for finishing assignments hastily – it breeds carelessness.
