Getting Started with Home Teaching Resources

Understand Your Child’s Learning Needs

Every child learns differently. Understanding these unique needs is the first step to successful home learning. Take time to observe how your child engages with different activity styles—if they prefer hands-on projects, visual demonstrations, or listening to explanations.

Create an Effective Learning Routine

Establishing a consistent learning routine helps children feel secure and focused. Start by identifying your child’s most alert times of day—for some, this might be early morning, while others may concentrate better in the afternoon. Successful teaching activities of parents often involve breaking learning into manageable chunks and mixing regular breaks and quiet study time with active learning to maintain engagement. 

Set Up a Comfortable Study Space

A dedicated learning area can make a world of difference in focus and motivation. Choose a well-lit space away from distractions, ideally with a comfortable chair and desk at the right height. Keep frequently used teaching resources within easy reach, and consider having a weekly planner on the wall for simple organisation.

Maintain Motivation

Often, the biggest challenge for most parents is keeping their children enthusiastic about learning. Make lessons fun by incorporating games and interactive activities from our teaching resources for parents in NZ. Mix up the learning environment occasionally by taking suitable activities outdoors or creating themed learning days, remembering to stay positive and show enthusiasm for learning yourself, as children often mirror their parents’ attitudes.
