About this title

Synopsis

As the parent of a first grader, you may be asking yourself: When will my child begin to read? Is it okay that my child still counts on his fingers? What can I do to make sure my child knows everything she should? Perhaps you've been told by your child's teacher that your first grader is doing fine. But what does "fine" really mean, and how can you be sure that your child's academic growth will continue? Be your child's best teacher. Find out what your child knows, what your child needs to know, and how to work with your child to ensure success in school. Inside, there is a wealth of fun, easy-to-do activities designed to teach your child important skills. The time you spend together will foster a love of learning that will remain with your child in the years to come.
