Mid-Year School Motivation For Your Child

Have you ever noticed that right after the new year begins, your child's interest in school starts to, shall we say, slow down?

Teachers give lots of reasons like the low pre-vacation test scores that just came back, or students get discouraged and feel like they can't do any better, or maybe just plain ole' boredom.

But years of teaching have proven to me that it doesn't have to be that way.

I always found new ways of motivating my students to cross the finish line at the end of the school year using quick and easy learning strategies that boosted their belief in themselves and their grades.

A lot of schools these days are struggling with poor test scores, low grades and kids who are really down on themselves.

But, showing the kids how to play the school game and win turns everything around.

Reading and Remembering What's In A Textbook Can Actually Be Fun!

For example, does your child know that simply drawing a circle, putting the heading of the chapter, and spokes with the subheadings, then creating humorous pictures of what the ideas remind them of, boost memory many times over?

Or if they are reading and the words don't look like they should, doctors say colored overlays can improve reading levels by more than a year in less than a week?

If your child has the mid-year motivation blues, there are over 20 easy and proven learning strategies in e-books like Instant Learning For Amazing Grades.

It's jam packed with 200 pages of easy, fun and long proven strategies to increase motivation, master spelling and math facts in half the time, learn new vocabulary as fast as you'd like, and what to do if your child learns differently than he's tested or has learning challenges like ADHD or reading.

Check it out and transform your child quickly into one who's motivated and knows how to learn anything fast.

3 Biggest Back To School Mistakes That Will Lower Your Child's Grades

My niece was visiting last week, and as we played a board game, I noticed she was making the kinds of errors proving she had a vision problem.

Knowing she was going back to school, I asked her lots of questions and quickly discovered she could barely see the calendar on the wall 10 feet away, and held her book right up to her nose when she read.

The warning flag was up - so I told my sister what to do to help my niece see perfectly.

Your child is going back to school so after you've purchased all those supplies, if you ignore these 3 things, you can unintentionally create lower grades and lower self-esteem,

Read over the 3 listed here then act right away to help your child have the best year ever.

1. You Don't Know How The World Looks Through Your Child's Eyes

The ability to read is key to learning. Your child's vision changes when reading increases, so if you don't know how the world looks through your child's eyes, your child may be at risk for low grades and test scores, simply because he may think everybody else sees things the same distorted way.

The solution: Eye doctors say to make sure your child has a thorough eye exam before school starts every year. That distance school vision screening eye chart has nothing to do with reading a book.

To give your child a comprehensive eye and vision exam, visit these sites to find a doctor in your area, then use the free Eye-Q Inventory to show you exactly how your child sees the printed page.

Two former U.S. Presidents had kids or grandkids and their vision problems went unnoticed until serious problems showed up. Follow their lead and go to COVD.org, OEP.org to find a doctor who can give your child the type of learning related vision exam that sets him up for success.

Great news. You can start early and identify and fix vision problems before your child is 12 months old for free. Former President Jimmy Carter will tell you how at Infantsee.org.

If your child is already reading, check out the free Eye-Q reading inventory to find out for sure how your child sees the world and their books at at HowToLearn.com

2. You Don't Know Whether There Is A Mis-Match Between Your Child's Learning Style And The School's Written Testing Style

Kids learn in many ways, but schools test in only one.

If your child happens to be a visual learner, who thinks in pictures, they are likely to get the highest grades, because it fits how they are tested.

Kids who learn more by hearing or kinesthetically, through movement (often labeled with ADD or ADHD), need to know how to add some visual learning strategies so they can learn faster and be at or even above grade level.

The Solution: Your whole family can take the free Personal Learning Styles Inventory and I suggest you read it aloud to your kids. It will self-score for you and you'll know how your child learns best.

If you discover your child prefers the kinesthetic style, act now to show your child those visual strategies he'll need to get higher grades.


3. You Can't Tell Whether Your Child Knows The Memory Strategies Needed To Get High Grades and Test Scores.

Teachers are overworked and don't have time to give your child the one-on-one attention she needs to teach "how to learn" and the memory strategies that A+ students already know.

Check out the 155 free test taking tips and memory made easy program at this site.
