1. Set up a homework schedule.
2. Rank assignments in the order they are to be done.
3. Do not sit next to your child while he/she does homework-however, be
available as a resource.
4. Never let homework drag on all night- this can increase a child's
feelings of inadequacy.
5. Discuss homework questions before your child reads the chapter.
6. Place textbook chapters on tape.
7. Check small groups of problems at a time.
8. Be aware of negative non-verbal messages during homework.
9. Avoid finishing assignments for your child.
10. Check homework assignments at the end of the night.
Alex is starting kindergarten in about a week! I've been explaining that he'll probably get homework sometimes. I'm not sure what they do... but I'll find out soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the homework tips. I am going to share this with parents at back to school night.
