[quote=Anonymous]One thing we did before our DD entered 3rd grade was to break down the steps in writing an essay (introductory paragraph, 3 supporting paragraphs, conclusion), and practice that so that it becomes routine.  I've seen others in this forum recommend the workbook "Pattern Based Writing."  Also work on how to attack a math word problem (do a search on the web for suggestions); also Kumon workbooks are helpful.  We also worked out a system for keeping track of homework.  Ensure your child has a clear, designated spot for doing homework, stocked with the materials she needs, and a checklist for listing and completing homework tasks.  It also helps going into 3rd grade to have a good understanding of multiplication facts. If that's difficult for your child, do some research online regarding the different ways to learn these, then start working on this over the summer.  (We used a combination of flashcards, Flashmaster, and the Schoolhouse Rock video :)  Search on-line for other helpful tips for teaching executive function and organization skills.  GL!
