Building a Good Home Learning Environment
1 It's important to provide a workspace of their own where they can read books or just write a letter to their friends.
● Location(位置)
Setting up a space in a common area of your home can be a good idea for children. Kitchen and dining room are not so well suite for regular study, since books and pens get in the way of the day－to－day uses of those areas. Set up a place where a child can settle in and leave papers and pens at hand without having to clear everything away each night. 2
● Keeping Things in Order
Parents should encourage their child to spread out, but to leave it neat and orderly when he isn't using his workspace. Ownership is very important for self－respect. 3 The workplace should be personal, but not another part of the playroom.
● 4
Encourage the whole family to help build a supportive environment that children need for success in school. Give them a good example of how to deal with problems, how to manage time and get things done in the right way. 5 Study will be more enjoyable and effective when supported by the whole family.
