Tips:

Set some limits
- Be flexible-some nights more time than others
- Set aside homework time without distractions
- Provide breaks for a snack or drink
Take an interest in the work your child is doing:
- Ask about his or her school work
- Find out if she/he has all the things needed like a dictionary or a calculator,
- Have your child read out loud or taking turns is also enjoyable
- Go over work before a test to see if your child understands what is being taught
- Encourage neat and accurate work
- Review work to see if it is completed and ready for school the next day
- Encourage your child to take responsibility for homework
