The best way to engage you child into the perpetual learning intiation is to plan weekly field trip outings every week preferably on  Mondays. (Library, Science Ceneter, Zoo, Museums even the Movie Theatre)>  On Tuesday, ask your child to write a short report about that learning experience.  Grade their pares and give special incnetives for assignments that are accompanied with artwork  (Special Incentives can be tickets for popcorn, granola bars or a restuarant visit for the foods of their distinctive choice).selective DVD's Books etc.  Wednesday, give them a Spelling Test and ask them to write a sentence for these words.  Give rewards.  Thursday,  give a classic review and have them to look up words in the dictionary and the thesaurus.  Friday, give them a spelling test.  Once you have graded their papers, give them a special treat and a meal Ticket   to restuarant of their choice or prepare their favorite foods. Don''t  forget to include dessert. 

Have them to request what trip from the Field Trip List that you have prepared in advance.  Now, you have the weekend to repose and prepare for Monday's trip! Be sure to make this event a full family affair!  Invite other parents in the community to participate too!
