Hide a special book for

your youngster to find. Hold

an indoor reading campout.

Encourage family members

to “like” each other’s book

reviews. With these cre-

ative ideas, you can

inspire your child to

use more of his spare

time for reading!

Leave hidden gems

At the library,

secretly look for

a book you think

your youngster

would like, such as

one you read at his age or a story about

the sport he plays. At home, leave the

book where he can find it, along with a

note about why you chose it for him.

Idea: Suggest that your child hide a book

for you or a younger sibling to discover.

Hold special events

Ask your youngster to organize a fam-

ily reading event once a month or so. Per-

haps he’ll plan an indoor campout or a

New Year’s Eve read-a-thon. He could find

books with a related theme—maybe an

outdoor adventure tale for the campout or

■ Life in Motion:

An Unlikely Ballerina

(Young Readers Edition)

(Misty Copeland)

In 2015, Misty Copeland

became the first African-

American principal

ballerina in the

American Ballet

Theatre’s history.

This children’s ver-

sion of her autobi-

ography describes how she pursued a

ballet career despite the odds.

■ The Neverending Story

(Michael Ende)

In an antique bookshop, a boy named

Bastian finds a mys-

terious book filled

with enchanted

creatures. When

the world inside the

book turns out to be

real and he discovers it’s in danger, he

must go on a quest to save it. (Also

available in Spanish.)

■ A Child’s Introduction to the

Night Sky (Michael Driscoll)

Your youngster

can explore

astronomy with

this colorful non-

fiction book. She’ll

learn about stars

and planets, important scientific

achievements, space exploration, and

more. Includes a star chart pullout.

■ I Survived the Bombing of Pearl

Harbor, 1941 (Lauren Tarshis)

This installment of the popular histori-

cal fiction series I Survived takes read-

ers back in time to the day of the Pearl

Harbor attack. The story is told from

the point of view of an 11-year-old boy

who had recently moved to Hawaii.

Motivated to read

Storytelling time

BookPicks

Encourage your child to make a “story pole” and use it to

tell a tale. She’ll practice story planning, a skill that can help

with creative writing assignments in school.

First, have her think of something funny or interesting that

happened to your family, perhaps getting caught in a downpour

during a hike. Then, she can cut a sheet of construction paper into

four horizontal strips and, on each, draw a picture of a story event

(seeing the first big drops, laughing and holding backpacks over

your heads, hurrying to the car, getting cozy at home in pajamas).

Let your youngster tape the pictures around a paper towel

tube in the order the events happened. Now it’s time to tell her story! She could

point to the pictures on her pole and add details as she talks.

a book about New Year traditions around

the world for the read-a-thon.

Post reviewsHave your child find a spot on a wall

where he and other family members can

display reviews of books they’ve read.

You could “like” each other’s reviews by

adding star stickers and comments. Let

your youngster ask relatives to mail or

email reviews that he could post, too. He

may be inspired to read a book that his

cousin or a favorite uncle enjoyed.

What does the number 4 mean? How does 9 relate to 8 or 10? While these questions may seem easy to you, your child is just learning to understand numbers. Here are everyday ways you can support him.Find objects

Ask your youngster to name his favorite number. Then, challenge him to find items to match. If he says 6, he might get 6 pennies, a 6 of diamonds from an old deck of cards, and 6 stickers. With con-struction paper and tape, he could make them into a “6s collage.” Tip: Suggest that he make a collage for other numbers up to 20.

Guess the number Play “What’s my page number?” Open to a random page in a book or magazine, and give your child hints to figure out the page you’re on. You might say, “My page number is 2 less than your age,” or

Make it real Using real objects to work through math problems can be a big help. For instance, if your youngster is adding 5 + 3, she could get 5 forks and 3 spoons. Have her count the forks (“1, 2, 3, 4, 5”) and then “count on” with the spoons (“6, 7, 8”). Seeing the math in action will help her understand it better.

Find the magnet Tape a magnet inside a shoe box, and

seal the box. Then, ask your child to use a paper clip to find the mag-

net. (He should move the paper clip around the out-side of the box until he feels it being pulled — or attracted — to a certain spot.) Can he tell how big the magnet is or what shape it is?

Book picks Ten Black Dots (Donald Crews) presents a fun way to count to 10. After reading the book, encourage your youngster to make her own dot pictures!

Why is dirt important? Your child will learn all the facts in Jump into Sci-ence: Dirt (Steve Tomecek). Discusses different types of dirt, what lives in dirt, and how dirt is formed.

Q: What does a bear become after it’s three years old?

A: Four years old.

Number, please TOOLS &TIDBITS

Just for fun

Spinning a web Together, look for a spiderweb outside in the bushes or in your basement or garage. Then, try these ideas:

● Have your youngster peer closely to noticethe web’s lines and shape. Let her use a mag-nifying glass to observe the spider, describewhat its body looks like, and count its legs(8). Ask where the spider’s skeleton is—onthe outside or inside?● Let your child create her own web with a paper plate andyarn. Make notches around the edges of the plate, and ask her to “weave” theyarn through the notches and over the plate. Idea: If she has a toy spider, shecould attach it to her web.

“Add together 14 + 4, and you’ll get my page number.” Let him give you ones to guess, too.

Spot the sequence Walk down the street, and have your youngster read the house numbers. See if he can spot a pattern (the numbers might skip by 2s or 4s). Or maybe the numbers are all even. Then, walk back on the other side of the street. What does he notice about those numbers? (Perhaps they’re all odd.) He’ll practice recognizing and reading numbers — and learn about the relationships between numbers.

Your School NameYour Name

“I’m starving!” When your

child bursts through the door

after school or day care, she’s

probably hungry. Try these tips

for healthy snacks that will give

her the energy she needs to play

and do homework.

Stock the kitchen

Whatever is in the house is

what your youngster will eat—so

shop with that in mind. Get interesting

fruits and vegetables in different colors.

Buy mango or peach salsa, and let your

child dip in veggie sticks (carrot, celery,

jicama). Stock popcorn to air pop (rather

than getting less healthy microwave pop-

corn). Then, offer her choices. She’ll

have a say in what she eats , but she’ll

be choosing only from healthy foods.

Have a mini-meal

Breakfast or lunch foods can make

a good snack. You could serve oatmeal

with raisins and nuts or tuck scrambled

eggs into a pita pocket. Or try individual

pizzas on whole-wheat English muffins.

Top each half with a little tomato sauce,

shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese, and

Math + fitness

Give your child

a chance to

combine math

practice and

exercise with

daily “math

breaks.” Give directions that include

a math problem and a fitness activity.

For example, say, “Do 2 + 2 jumping

jacks” or “Do 11 – 2 cartwheels.”

Healthy shopping

When you go to the grocery store,

“shop the perimeter” first. The out-

side aisles are where you’ll usually

find fresh produce, healthy dairy

products (fat-free milk, yogurt, and

cheese), and fresh meats, chicken,

and fish. Fill your cart mostly with

those items, and then get what you

need from the middle of the store.

Research shows that stu-

dents who skip breakfast

have shorter attention spans and

don’t do as well on tests. Make sure

your youngster gets up in time to

have a nutritious breakfast either at

home or at school. Tip: If he’s having

trouble waking up early enough,

move his bedtime back.

Just for fun

Q: What’s the

worst thing

about being

an octopus?

A: Washing

your hands

before meals!

Feeling good about sports

Participating in sports can build your child up…or drag

him down. Make athletics a positive experience for your

youngster with these strategies:

● Keep games in perspective. At this age, sports should be

about having fun and developing skills. Ask about his favor-

ite part of practice or the most interesting play in the game,

rather than focusing on his performance or the score.

● Encourage him to set goals—but make sure the goals

are realistic. He might aim to touch the ball three times during a game or to try a

move that he’s been working on.

● Avoid comments about your youngster’s size or body. Concentrate on the

friends he is making, the places he is playing, and the effort he is putting forth

(“I love how you tried to get the rebound”).

Snack attack

vegetables (sliced mushrooms, chopped

onions), and bake until the cheese melts.

Build your ownLet your child get creative in the

kitchen, and she’ll be likely to eat the

results. She can make kebabs by thread-

ing fruit (grapes, melon chunks) and low-

fat cheese cubes onto toothpicks. Put out

cookie cutters for her to cut sandwiches

into fun shapes. Or she could spread

peanut or almond butter on rice cakes,

apples, or bananas and decorate them

with raisins and nuts.

Healthy Ideas for Middle and High School Students

This institution is an equal opportunity provider.

Your School NameYour NameWhether your child has daily assignments, tests, quizzes, or college-entrance exams, eating right will help!

Certain foods contain nutrients that can fuel your teen’s brainpower. These “smart” foods are good choices for test days— and every day:

Strawberries. The folic acid in these juicy berries can keep your teen’s memory at its best. For a

yummy fruit salad, pair strawberries with

other fruits high in folic acid like oranges,

cantaloupe, and blackberries. Walnuts. Encourage your teen to throw a

bag of walnuts in his backpack to snack

on during exam day. They contain nutri-

ents that keep his nervous system work-

ing well, helping him to think more

clearly. As an added bonus, the protein

in nuts will give him energy.Spinach. This dark, leafy green vegetable

is packed with nutrients, including some

Sweet squashHere’s a “sweet” way to

get your child to enjoy a new vegeta-

ble. Spread butternut squash cubes

(you can find them in the produce

section) on a cookie sheet, and driz-

zle with olive oil. Sprinkle with kosher or sea salt, and roast at 400°

for 30–40 minutes, flipping when

browned on one side. The cubes will

be crunchy outside, soft inside—and

naturally sweet.

Challenge yourself Encourage your teen to create his own fit-ness challenge. For instance, he might want to run or Roller-blade a certain num-

ber of minutes or a certain number of

days a week. Once he attains that goal,

he could set a new target. Suggest that

he track his progress on a calendar or

an online tool.

Onions not only add flavor to food, they’re

a good source of fiber and filled with

vitamins and nutrients. They can also aid the body’s natural defenses

against cancer. Try adding chopped

onions to soups, eggs, casseroles, and

pasta dishes. Tip: Your child might

like cooked onions better—they’re

much milder. Just for fun

Q: Why was the refrigerator tired?A: Because it had been run-ning all day!

Cut the salt Your teen needs some salt to balance fluid

levels and help her muscles and nerves work

right. However, too much salt can lead to

weight gain or even cause health problems

like high blood pressure. Here are some ideas

for limiting salt intake:● Think twice about processed foods. Sodium is

added to extend shelf life for deli meats, hot dogs,

frozen entrees, canned soups, and sauces. Instead, cook a turkey breast and slice

it for sandwiches, or look for low-sodium versions of other items.

● Go easy on fast food. A large serving of french fries can have more than 1,000

mg sodium, and a breakfast sandwich up to 1,500 mg. That’s a lot, considering

the daily recommended intake is 1,500 mg. Note: A food is considered high in

sodium if it has more than 500 mg per serving.

Did You Know?

Brain food

FASTTAKES

that can boost your teen’s focus and

keep him alert. Fish. Omega-3 fatty acids, a key ingredi-

ent in some fish, is important for brain

function. Try mixing drained, canned

tuna with nonfat mayonnaise and serve

on multigrain crackers for a “smart” snack

or meal. Other good sources of Omega-3

fatty acids are salmon and sardines.Water. It’s not exactly a “food,” but

since more than half your child’s brain

is made up of water, staying hydrated is

important for keeping his mind sharp.
