Learning Together

Seat work in schools is often designed to manage groups and fill up time slots. At home, you can use other methods to determine if your child is learning the material. For example, the end-of-the-chapter review questions could be orally answered at the supper table (where all can learn and review) or while mom is cooking in the kitchen or weeding the flower bed. Your child simply brings you the book and you read the question and listen to the answer.  If you as the teacher are not sure of the answer to the question, ask your child to find the information in the chapter and show it to you, or have them read that section aloud.
