Tips:

• Children need a place to do school work

• A regular time and quiet location is helpful

Set some limits

• Be flexible-some nights more time than others

• Set aside homework time without distractions

• Provide breaks for a snack or drink

Take an interest in the work your child is doing:

• Ask about his or her school work

• Find out if she/he has all the things needed like a dictionary or a calculator,

• Have your child read out loud or taking turns is also enjoyable

• Go over work before a test to see if your child understands what is being taught

• Encourage neat and accurate work

• Review work to see if it is completed and ready for school the next day

• Encourage your child to take responsibility for homework
