1) Create a Study Space for Success
Set aside a regular time each day for your child to tackle homework. A
quiet house with limited distractions makes an ideal place to study.
2) Use a Checklist to Manage Tasks
Have your child stay organized with a homework checklist. She should
keep track of which assignments are most important and which assignments
take the most time.
3) Provide Prompts
Help your child focus on the task at hand by summarizing the directions
or by providing her with the first sentence for her writing assignments.
4) Collect the Necessary Materials
Keep a stock of materials that your child will need as she does her
homework. If your child tends to get easily distracted, give her
materials only as she needs them.
5) Help Him Chug Through His Workload
Break up large tasks into smaller parts and give breaks often so that your child can release energy!
6) Get Him to Juggle Assignments
Teach your kid how to prioritize tasks by difficulty. Have him work on simple assignments first and complex tasks later.
7) Make Meaningful Connections
Bring homework assignments to life by connecting the main idea to real
life. For example, if your child's learning about fractions in school,
ask him how to divide up a pizza pie among family members.
8) Plan a Course of Action
For long-term homework assignments, such as reports, help your child
plan which parts of the assignment he'll tackle on which day. Keep tabs
on his progress to ensure that the assignment gets completed before the
deadline.
9) Provide a Proofing Checklist
Keep a proofreading checklist in your child's study space so that he
reviews his work (such as capitalization, punctuation and spelling)
before turning in assignments.
