Homework Tips
|
|
A regular schedule is a key factor in academic
success. Try to organize your time so that dinner is
served at a regular time each night. Once dinner is
done, it’s time to do homework in an area that is
clear of distractions. If the child gets home from
school quite early and has no other commitments you
might want to make after school the scheduled
homework time.
Consider your child’s age and development when
choosing the duration of the homework sessions. High
school students can focus for more than an hour.
First graders can probably only do 15 minutes at a
time. Allow them to take breaks.
Show an interest in what they are doing.
