[quote=Anonymous]We always emphasized effort with DS, if he studied and tried his best and earned a B we were not upset but we would work on helping him understand the material. We started with having him redo work that had mistakes in it, correcting his mistakes. A few weeks of doing that in 2nd grade led to a lot fewer mistakes because he did not want to redo his school work at home. Start there. If she has work sent home that has mistakes, sit with her and redo the work. Explain that you will be doing this for every assignment. She will probably slow down because the consequence is having to redo the work at home. DS gets to choose a restaurant for dinner when his report card comes home with all effort scores that show he is making his best effort. [/quote]
