Be sure that your son\/daughter is doing all of his\/her homework and turning it in on time. Generally, students have homework every night.<\/p>\n<p>2. Students should review vocabulary every day!! This means that they should practice spelling and pronouncing the words in the target language.<br \/>\nSuggestions and tips:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>When studying, students should cover up the Spanish word, and try to recall it from the English. Most assessments require them to recall the Spanish, not the English meaning.<\/li>\n<li>Students can create flashcards and practice with them \u2013 pictures help!<\/li>\n<li>Parents &#8211; you can help by calling the words out in English and having your child spell the word for you either orally or in writing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>3. Please encourage your son\/daughter to stay after school if they do not understand a concept being covered in class. All World Language teachers are available and willing to help students who are genuinely trying, but just need a little reinforcement. Tell your child to schedule a help session with the teacher as soon as he\/she experiences problems.<\/p>\n<p>4. Remember that a World Language builds on previous knowledge. Students must have a good foundation of the basics before moving on. All tests and quizzes are cumulative, so encourage frequent review of previous material.<\/p>\n<p>5. Encourage your student to make full use of instructional time in the class. Tell them to ask questions, to volunteer, to take notes and to pay attention. 40 minutes a day is all we get together and the more they stay engaged during that time, the less they will struggle later.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>I believe a good school community requires teachers, parents and administrators working together to create the most successful learning experience for the students.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These tips are adapted from the World Language Department at Grafton High School in Yorktown, Virginia. 1.
