  1. Homework without a Battle Thursday, September 22, 2011 Presented by Michelle Bonds Title 1 Resource Teacher

  2. Welcome!

  3. Provide a well-lit work space, equipped with needed supplies • A good work space is one that has adequate space, is well lit, and has the needed supplies. • Homework Supplies • Pencils • Crayons/markers • Pencil sharpener • Eraser • Glue/paste/tape • Writing paper • Ruler • Scissors • Dictionary/Thesaurus

  4. Remove Distractions • Do homework in a quiet place that does not have distractions.  • Turn off the TV. • Don't expect your child to do homework in a room where siblings are playing, or where they can see or hear them playing.

  5. Establish a routine • Set a specific "homework time" such as right after supper.  • Require that homework be complete before your child can watch TV, use the phone, play video games, etc. • Develop a routine schedule • Post the routine schedule so that everyone is aware of it

  6. An example of a routine schedule

  7. Find out how much and how often homework is expected Beulah Elementary School’s Homework Policy

  8. Prioritize • Encourage your child to work first on those assignments that are due tomorrow.  • Then tackle the tasks that are due later.  • Help your child plan his/her studying so that projects are not left until the last minute.   • Checking the agenda/homework sheet can be a big help with this.

  9. Read the directions and read the assignments aloud • The brain will remember the information better because it will be processing the information in three ways: • through the eyes as it is read • through the mouth as it is said • through the ears as the information is heard

  10. Check understanding • Be sure your child understands new assignments before he/she starts working on them.  • This one can save lots of late school-night tears!

  11. Guide, but do not correct • If your child needs help, offer ideas that can help him/her sort out the problem, but don't give him/her the answers.

  12. Get organized for tomorrow • As soon as an assignment is complete, put it in the proper folder.  • Remind your child to gather all folders, books, notebooks, etc. and put in the backpack before going to bed.   • Even the best homework effort doesn't do much good if it's left on the kitchen table!   

  13. Never ask this question! • A big mistake is to ask your child - just when you think about it - if he/she has homework.  • This is a spontaneous request, and your question is sure to provoke hostility.  • Homework should be a daily routine - done at the same time and in the same place as much as possible.

  14. Homework tips gathered from: • www.teachersandfamilies.com • Parent Magic Newsletter • Center for Effective Parenting Arkansas State • Premier Elementary Study Skills and Test Preparation
