Quick answers for parents

Short answers to common questions about routines, reading, home practice, and school readiness.

How long should early learning practice last?

For young children, 5 to 15 focused minutes is often enough when the activity is calm and enjoyable.

Should my child stop using the home language?

No. Strong home-language interaction supports expression, comprehension, and family connection.

Do we need a login to use the public learning pages?

No. Many public learning pages and resources are available without sign-in.

What if my child refuses practice?

Shrink the task first. Try one tiny success, then stop. Protect calm and connection before trying to increase practice time.

Should we do stories, worksheets, and quizzes on the same day?

Yes, but keep each piece short. Variety often works better than repeating one format for too long.

How do I know if my child is improving?

Look for small steady signs such as better attention, quicker starts, more confidence, or less help needed than before.

Are quizzes too stressful for small children?

They can be if adults make them feel like tests. Keep them short, playful, and guided, especially for Prep, LKG, and UKG.

What is better: one long session or two short sessions?

Two short calm sessions are often better for young children than one long tired session.

What should my child know before Grade 1?

There is no single checklist. Confidence with routines, listening, early language, number sense, and calm participation matters more than rushing advanced academics.

Is it okay if my child mixes languages while speaking?

Yes. Many children do this naturally while building confidence across languages. Keep your own speech clear and relaxed instead of treating it as a mistake every time.
