Homework serves to reinforce subject matter that has been taught in the classroom. Each teacher will outline her homework policy at the beginning of the school year. Doing schoolwork at home encourages students to develop independent study habits and therefore, should be the childs responsibility. However, parental involvement with a childs homework gives the parent an awareness of strengths and weaknesses and is valuable in the educational process. Parents can help by following a few simple guidelines:

 

·       Designate a regular place for doing homework away from household traffic and noise.

·       Establish a regular time for working on assignments.

·       Encourage the child to complete the assigned work.

·       Review homework for completeness and correctness.
