WAYS TO HELP YOUR CHILD WITH HOMEWORK

  1. Let your child know that homework is important and valuable.
  2. Set a regular time each day for homework, allowing time to unwind after school before getting started.
  3. Be sure your child has essentials, such as papers, books, school notebooks, and pencils.
  4. Help your child get organized by providing folders for papers and a calendar and/or assignment book.
  5. Have a quiet, clean, and well-lit place to study, with a comfortable chair.  Keep all schoolwork there.
  6. Discourage distractions, including TV, during study time.  Allow study breaks at intervals.
  7. Be available to answer questions or help quiz your child, but keep homework as his or her responsibility to complete.
  8. Spot check homework when it's completed, but don't correct assignments unless the teacher has asked you to.
  9. Read any comments the teacher has made on returned assignments.
  10. If a homework problem arises, contact the teacher for clarification.
                                   
To Help Your Child
Do Well In School
  1. Show you care. Your child needs hugs and words of support. Ask your child about each day.
  2.   Read, read, read!  Read with your child or have him or her read every day.  Make it fun--- talk about what you've read.
  3. Make home a place for learning.  Help your child practice reading, writing, math and science skills.  Stimulate your child's creativity.
  4. Promote healthy habits.  Make sure your child gets plenty of sleep and exercise and eats balanced meals. Schedule regular checkups.
  5. Be a role model.  Your child learns form you.  Be positive about education and show you enjoy learning.
  6. Encourage independence.  Allow your child to make mistakes and learn to accept their consequences.  Give your child responsibilities, such as household chores.
  7. Create a study routine.  Set a time and place for your child to work every day.  Go over homework together.
  8. Get involved.  Meet with your child's teacher, attend school events and help out at school if you can
  9. Build success.  Help raise your child's self-esteem by setting reachable goals and praising your child's efforts, not just results.
  10. Make school important.  Insist on good attendance and punctuality
