Asking for clearer schoolwork directions: family follow-up

Subject: Asking for clearer schoolwork directions — optional family practice

Hello families and caregivers,

Here is a short school story you can talk about together.

A direction says explain your answer. The student has an answer but no example of an explanation.

Ask: “What question names the confusing direction?”

One possible response is: “Could you show what one explanation should include?”

Your child can talk, draw, or listen. A different answer may work too. This is optional; there is nothing to buy or return.

Thank you, Your school counseling team
