5 ways I can help my child

1 Discuss what they have been studying in Psychology. Ask them to explain key studies and theories to you as this will enhance their understanding.

2

Encourage them to use their knowledge organiser to consolidate what they have learnt, or as a prompt for pre-reading before studying a topic. This can also be a useful starting point for revision purposes.

3

Read through their booklets and encourage them to read the relevant pages in their text book and annotate lesson notes with additional information.
4 Embed challenge – encourage them to read/ listen to the news and find articles linked to topics they are studying.

5

Encourage them to be independent learners who read around their subject, looking at websites such as https://www.psychboost.com/ watching the videos linked to each topic
