Research in the USA tells if you’re involved in your child’s education they will have higher grades, have better attendance records and make better test scores. They will even have a better chance of going to college or a technical school. Being involved in a child’s education at home is just as important as being involved at school. Letting the child know their education is important to the parent encourages them to do better. Reading to your child and letting your child see you read for pleasure encourages them to learn.

Friday, September 29th, 2006Parent’s night with a difference
Friday, September 15th, 2006Have you ever attended a parent’s night at school and felt isolated from a teacher’s observations? If you’re told your child is behind in a certain subject what can you do about it? The teacher is extremely busy, and more than likely so are you. A tutor is one possibility, but they tend to operate in key subjects, and come in limited supply at a cost.An alternative allows your child to have some fun time at home with dedicated learning products and review the subject at their own pace. With you as the mentor, studies have shown the effectiveness of this approach to grow confidence and real enjoyment in the subject. The comprehensive range from keen2learn matches the National Curriculum, so when the teacher or the end of term report tells you your child could do with some help, click onto www.keen2learn.co.uk
Einstein, Newton and Hawking take a back seat.
Friday, September 1st, 2006Keen 2 Learn have introduced a fantastic new range of educational science products in response to the Government and the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) concerns about the reducing number of science subjects being taken at school at GCSE and A level. These “quality” subjects have suffered over the years, yet to any practical child they hold a fascination that provides a bedrock to a staggering number of disciplines in future careers.Science expands its relevance in the world literally at the speed of light. Technological, environmental and biological developments continually influence the way the world operates and the greatest names and achievers in history are inevitably scientists. A good grounding in physics, chemistry and biology is essential to develop the confidence to progress.
Keen 2 Learn has included educational resources supporting a comprehensive range of science subjects throughout the key stages of the National Curriculum. Designed to build the confidence of the child at home to complement the school activity, some of the equipment is ideal to buy on a share basis with school friends and relatives. Access to the equipment at home helps significantly in developing your child’s awareness and interest in the subjects. The highly practical nature of science provides real enjoyment as they see the experiment working; revealing hidden facts or proving a point. A scientific approach induces a structure in reasoning that has applications in all manner of things.
Some of the apparatus and experiments we believe will rekindle an interest with parents to re live science experiments – or a desire to learn more themselves about the wonders of science, but make sure it’s your turn!
