Parent Crash Course for using CAPIT at HOME
IMPORTANT NOTE TO PARENTS WHOSE CHILDREN ARE USING CAPIT AT HOME
Parents, please do not help your child while working on CAPIT Reading. Each child should complete lessons on their own without your help. In our experience, children who receive support from parents or older siblings tend to struggle to master essential skills. If your child struggles to complete a CAPIT lesson, please request assistance from the teacher.
Of course, children may need assistance logging in or dealing with device issues. Below are the basics you need to know to support your child’s learning at home.
