Help your children so that their learning becomes more fun and easier for them.

Recent research both in New Zealand and overseas shows that encouraging your children to practice at home what they’re learning in the classroom has a hugely positive impact on their success at school. These can be simple tasks such as reading with them, revising letter sounds, adding and subtracting numbers, learning times tables, or coaching more complex skills to remember information for a test or organise homework.

I work with families so they can more easily encourage their children to become keen and successful students. This practical book supports you to help your young child do well with their education. It suggests ways you can coach them basic reading, writing, and mathematics, and what particular skills you need to focus on.

A practical guide to help you help your children become excellent students!

Are there secrets to helping students learn that are only taught to trained teachers?  The answer is NO! There are many research papers and education texts describing effective ways to coach children, but they are often full of jargon and can be difficult to understand. The Families as Coaches manual ‘Coaching your children to be excellent students: A practical guide’ translates the research into ideas families can easily understand and use. It is full of smart strategies that have been proven to work over and over again.
