Learn to spell and use spell check would be a good start

be postive and very supportive in everything they do. never spell school that way in front of them. stay involved in their life to ensure a bright future for them.

First of all, the parent's need to know how to spell. Don't let spell check do it for you, you will never learn. Be very active in their curriculum at school. Ask the teacher for an extra copy of their homework so that you can learn what they are learning.

By participating and by being enthusiastic about education. Be involved with extra curricular activities. Discuss homework and daily lessons. Be present with them. Listen and ask questions. Always praise even a good attempt. There are lessons everywhere. If you create an atmosphere of continual learning they will look forward to receiving new information.

All of the above answers have great ideas.One thing that has been huge for me is volunteering on a regular basis in my son's classroom. I did this one day a week for 1 to 2 hrs at a time. This allowed me to know first hand several things:- The teacher's instructional style. My son is a very active boy and he learns very quickly when there are activities to do associated with the subject. When his teacher is more into copying things from the board that allows me to know that I need to supplement our home learning with more activities.- What precisely they are learning in school. Yes they send things home but knowing first hand allows me to pick up on things my son will "forget" to tell me.-It allows the teacher to know you and that you are serious about their education. I have gotten great information about my child's behavior and progress in the two-minutes the teacher and I talk during my volunteer time.- It allows me to know the OTHER kids in the class. I can spot the positive and negative influences rather quickly (behaviors not kids) and handle them right off the bat. i.e. I know that Willie thinks it is funny to tell jokes during class, but the time to do that in recess and lunch and that is when you will do it.I hope this helps.

Here is a list of things a parent can do to help a child in school.1. Have a quiet study area in the home with a desk and chair. Reference books like a dictionary or encyclopedia would be nice. Make this area as attractive as possible with plants and plenty of light. There must not be any distractions like TV or loud music. 2. Have a set time for study. For example when the child returns home from school @ 3:00, let them have a snack and play outside until 4:00. Then, the child comes in and studies for an hour. At first, you may want to start with 1/2 an hour. With younger children, make this study time a team effort. Keep it light and fun. You want this to been seen as a positive for the child, and the child should never see this as a punishment. 3. Have a reward for the child. For example, for everyday the child studies, give him or her a sticker. After so many stickers, (three to four weeks worth) they get a $5.00 bonus added onto their allowance. If they had great report cards all year, have a party! The party could be as simple as a pizza party after school on Friday and a movie with a few of their friends.4. Keep open communication with the child's teacher. Remember the teacher is on your side and wants your child to succeed. Always approach the teacher with this thought in mind. Usually if a teacher is concerned or upset with a child it is because the child is not doing what he or she needs to do to be successful. If you can, email or write the teacher once a month a short note saying hello (send it via mail, not the child). Ask how your child is doing and if there is anything you need to know or can do to help your child succeed. Make sure to include contact information at the end, so the teacher can contact you right away instead of having to look it up. Do this all the way through school, especially in high school.5. Encourage your child to have a nice friendly yet professional relationship with his or her teachers. Teach them to always ask questions when they do not understand.6. Take advantage of any and all tutoring programs the school or your community has to offer. Even if your child is good at a subject, seeing it from another angle is a good thing.7. If your child is having problems get help right away. If there are any grades less than "B" on the first progress report, get help.I hope this list helps!
