This school year is my son's last year in preschool. I am hoping he can be accepted to first grade next school year. Though I am nervous that he doesn't take reading very seriously. He can write but reading aloud what he wrote, he doesn't do too much.
There are times I even doubt if he knows really what he is writing. Or maybe he is one of those kids who gets more confident in writing stuff than verbally speak out loud.
Homeworks are another thing. I think it is best to be able to stick to a schedule. Like homework should be done before dinner. Then later he can watch a bit of cartoons on tv. Not later than 9 pm is my ideal bed time on school nights.
Still, I feel am not doing enough supervision. Well I am really trying my best to put more attention to the study habits, and establishing a routine. These days there are just too much distraction - tv is number one think.
We'll see. Hopefully, he can get the hang of it this early. But sometimes it isn't easy falling into a strict study hours at home.
