1.  Make sure your child understands the importance of math in elementary school, and encourage your child to take more math, science and critical language courses in high school.

2.  Encourage your elementary school child in his/her math homework.

3.  Remind him/her of the importance of learning math for success inus%20department%20of%20education.jpg high school, college, and beyond.

4.  Learn your State's math and science requirements for high school graduation.

5.  Encourage your child to take four years of math and four years of science in high school, even if it is not required.

6.  Find out what kind of critical language courses your child's school offers.

7.  Encourage your child's school to offer them and encourage your child to take them.

8.  Encourage your child to take more Advanced Placement (AP) courses in high school.

9.  Find out what AP courses your child's high school offers.

10. Make sure the AP courses meet the true definition of Advanced Placement and are not simply "honors" courses.

In my opinion, the above is sound advice for students who are succeeding in school. Might you explore something similiar but realistic for students who are dyslexic/dyscalculic, although generally very bright, they learn differently and need repetition with multisensory modes of teaching/learning for new knowledge to be retained in memory.
