1. Set a certain time each day
for your child to do their homework. Having a set routine
helps children expect what to do. It does not have to be
right when your child comes home. Some children need time to
play when they first come home. 2. Have a set place that your
child can do their homework. It is important that they are
not in a busy area where they may be distracted by other
things such as T.V., people moving around, a radio,
etc. 3. Make sure your child has the
supplies that they need enable to complete their homework.
some examples are: pencils, crayons, scissors, tape, glue
and paper. Some assignments may require more specialized
tools. If you are unclear what they will need, please
ask. 4. If your child is unclear
about the assignment, please have them check with me. I will
go over the assignment again and have him or her practice a
few before going home again. 5. When you have time, check
your child's work and ask them to explain what they had to
do. Homework is a review of a skill taught in class. If they
truly understand it, they should be able to explain it to
you. 6. If your child is consistently
having difficulty with a skill, please let me know. When a
skill is learned incorrectly, it takes ten times as long to
reteach the skill. The faster a skill can be retaught, the
quicker your child will understand it. 7. Homework is a tool to help a
child practice a skill. If they feel it is something that
their parents value and consider important to their growth,
they will also feel it is important. Homework shouldn't take
hours or be a struggle. If it is, we need to work together
to fix the problem.
