Homework Strategies: An Overview
Homework is an important part of your child's learning. Six and a half hours of school is not sufficient for our children to compete on world-class standards. If we promote studying and homework, we are doing right by our children. Try to keep the following 4 points in mind. Upcoming entries on my web page will discuss each of these points in more detail
1. Make homework completion a positive experience: associate it with love and affection, freedom, fun and control.
2.
Make homework completion a high priority.
3.
Use homework completion to teach organization skills and improve learning skills. Remember that the primary purpose of homework is to improve learning and foster work habits.
4.
Provide and enforce logical and meaningful consequences. There should be clear positive consequences for completing homework and clear negative consequences for not completing it.
