How Is My Sixth Grader Doing in School?: What to Expect and how to Help?

A crucial period in children's development, the fourth, fifth, and sixth grades establish the foundations for long-term academic achievement. With a change to larger schools, more structured atmospheres, and a greater emphasis on academics, many students in the middle grades find it difficult to keep up. These three books provide parents with tools and techniques to help their children approach these years with confidence, competence, and enthusiasm. Jennifer Jacobson and Dottie Raymer address the issues faced by both generations, covering everything from pre-adolescent angst and anxieties to the controversial matter of homework. Designed to be used in conjunction with formal lessons, the volumes feature easy-to-use booklets that enable parents to assess their child's aptitude and create a program of activities specific to their needs.Jacobson, Jennifer Richard is the author of 'How Is My Sixth Grader Doing in School?: What to Expect and how to Help?' with ISBN 9780684847153 and ISBN 0684847159.
