Your young one is finally in school and you want them to get the most out of it. Helping your child with homework can be a positive and rewarding experience that will pave the way for future success.
Instructions
1.First you should set up everything you need. You want an area of your house that is free from distraction and has the supplies your child will need. I suggest investing in a desk for his/her bedroom to make the perfect atmosphere. Try to set a daily time to do homework and a general rule is to multiply the child's grade by 10 to get a feel for how long they should be spending. 10 minutes is sufficient for kindergarten and younger, while 3rd graders benefit from half an hour a day.
2. Set up a simple routine. First look and see what has been sent home from school. If your child does not have a planner, use a calendar to write down both daily and long term assignments. This will help your child visualize both short and long term projects. Start out every assignment by having your child explain to you what to do. This will help you gauge how much they understand. If they seem to "get it," allow them to complete the assignment and then check it after. If they obviously don't "get it" explain the key assignments and give lots of examples.
3. For young children reading is an essential skill that should be reinforced daily. Take some of this time to both read to your child and have your child read to you. Ask them questions about what they are reading. Make predictions. Think about cause and effect. Make connections to what the writer is talking about.
Use the library to keep a fresh choice of books.
4.If your child does not have homework - provide some supplemental material. Review things already learned, or buy some other materials. Use this time to learn about your child's area of interests. Keeping this a daily ritual will help avoid arguments later in life over doing homework.
