Formatting Papers

If your child's teacher requires the class to format papers in a certain way, consider having your child get several ready at home and keep them in her planner. We've also had our son write his name in the proper spot, then used a highlighter to mark the places the other items needed to go, like date, subject, and class period. A teacher we know tapes a model paper to children's desks if they need help remembering what goes where.
