[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That they should be supplementing at home.  We aren't allowed to give ELA homework in the early grades (maybe that will change if we ever get a new curriculum) so instead we tell families to “read” when what I really want them to do is a few minutes of fluency drills to reinforce what I’m teaching in class.[/quote]

This is actually very helpful. How do we find out what to drill them on? There is no textbook or handout that they bring home. What would you recommend to a parent who has bandwidth and motivation to reinforce at home?[/quote]

SPED teacher and parent... I wish they would teach HOW to study. How to make index flash cards or even the online ones. Then parents can help drill or know what the material is too. I've taught kids over the years how to make flash cards and while they don't all buy in, those who do make great strides. It helps bring into focus WHAT they need to know and provide a structure for learning it. It's not everyone's learning style, but when it clicks for someone it's one of the things I've seen that makes the most difference.
