Welcome to The Learning Center! Our primary focus in TLC is on becoming readers, writers, and mathematicians.
Learning Center groups have begun meeting for assistance with Math and Reading skills. Eligible students in Grades 3-5 meet
for help with Reading and Math skills in the TLC classroom. Students in Grades 6-8 receive extra help within their Math and
Reading classrooms each day.
Daily practice and review of basic facts, computation, and math concepts are important for all students. Students who struggle
often need increased practice and review broken into smaller chunks throughout the day.
Schedule time for independent reading and spelling practice daily, as well. Vary practice format for spelling words by grouping
words by spelling patterns, highlighting troublesome parts of words, posting them on a mirror, using refrigerator magnets,
etc. Repetition is the key! Find what works for your child and keep doing it!
Plan for success!
Help your child plan for success by scheduling homework and practice time just as you would sports practice or a doctor's
appointment. Schedule time each day and write it on the calendar. Schedule 15-20 min. for grades K-2, 30-45 min. for grades
3-5, and 60-90 min. for grades 6-8. Stick to the schedule. Whether your child brings home "homework" or not there are always
things to practice - spelling, AR reading, basic fact practice, and math computation practice .
The key to effective homework and practice is to help your child learn to schedule homework time each day and stick to it!
