Homework

Time

Grades JK to 3….10 to 30 minutes per day
Grades 4 to 8….30 to 60 minutes per day
(includes studying, review, assignments, project completion and home reading)

Tips:

• Children need a place to do school work
• A regular time and quiet location is helpful

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
