Skill Sharpeners Parent Series

Skill Sharpeners Parents Series

Students may spend the majority of their day in school during the academic year, but without the all-important home-school connection, the student success rate is not as high. Behind successful students are involved parents. Whether your child is struggling with a particular skill and is in need of home reinforcement, or you are simply looking to keep skills sharp during long breaks from school, Evan-Moor delivers with the research-based Skill Sharpener series.

Skill Sharpeners are ideal for home reinforcement and are available for pre-kindergarteners through sixth graders. Evan-Moor offers Skill Sharpeners practice books in reading, math, spelling and writing. Each subject title provides grade-level appropriate activities that help promote skill mastery through focused practice.

Of course, students work hard during the school day. So, you don’t want to overwhelm them when they come home. However, that’s why Skill Sharpener practice books make for an ideal pick. Skill Sharpeners are focused, and doing just one page a night can be a difference maker for a child that is struggling in reading, math, spelling or writing. These four core subjects work together to form a strong foundation for other academic subjects and cross the curriculum, making confidence in these subject areas even more critical.

The summer slide is real. Academic achievements often fall by the wayside during school breaks, especially summertime. Including Skill Sharpeners into vacation days is easy and still leaves plenty of time for fun and play. Utilizing Skill Sharpeners when school isn’t in session will make back to school much less stressful for kids and parents.

Evan-Moor’s Skill Sharpener series addresses key skills in reading, math, spelling, writing, science, geography, and critical thinking. Kids don’t mind the extra practice because the activities are fun and focused. Even better is when mom and dad sit down too. Education is a partnership between parents and teachers, with both working together to educate the whole child. Evan-Moor’s Skill Sharpener series makes that partnership a beneficial one.
