Helping Your Child
With Homework
Families play a vital
role in educating America's children. What families do is
more important to student success than whether they are rich or
poor, whether parents have finished high school or not, or
whether children are in elementary, junior high, or high school.
The value of homework extends beyond school. We know that
good assignments, completed successfully, can help children
develop wholesome habits and attitudes. Homework can help
parents learn about their children's education and communicate
both with their children and the schools.
*Set a regular time. Finding a
regular time for homework helps children finish assignments.
*Pick a place. A study area should
have lots of light, supplies close by, and be fairly quiet.
*Remove distractions. Turn off the
television and discourage social telephone calls during homework
time.
*Provide supplies and identify resources.
For starters, collect pencils, pens, erasers, writing paper,
assignment book, and dictionary.
*Set a good example. Children are
more likely to study if they see you reading, writing, and doing
things that require thought and effort on your part.
*Be available.
*Look over completed assignments.
*Monitor television viewing.

Congratulations!
