Ways to Help your Child with Homework
1. Have him/her use an assignment notebook so he/she knows what homework is required each day.
2. Introduce a planning calendar and show him/her how to use it when he/she begins to have long-term assignments.
3. Each day he/she should preview the assignments that he/se has to do and get the tough tasks out of the way first. He/she should write down the order in which he will do assignments.
4. Teach him/her to review her work frequently.
5. Get him/her an organizer, and show him/her how to use it so that he has a system for organizing all his school papers.
6. Create a regular schedule, allowing for adequate study and free time.
7. When possible, be available to answer questions. Try doing a problem or two together, then watch as the child tries the next one.
8. She/he should keep old quizzes and tests to prepare for future tests.
9. Eliminate distractions such as phone calls and television during homework time.
10. Establish a regular place for doing homework.
11. Review completed and graded assignments. Discuss errors to be sure your child understands the material.
12. Try to find a separate space for each of your children, or schedule quiet times for homework in designated spaces.
