Reading Homework Tips for Parents:
Have your child read aloud to you every night.
Choose a quiet place, free from distractions, for your child to do his
nightly reading assignments.
As your child reads, point out spelling and sound patterns.
When your child reads aloud to you and makes a mistake, point out the words
she has missed and help her to read the word correctly.
After your child has stopped to correct a word he has read, have him go back
and reread the entire sentence from the beginning to make sure he understands
what the sentence is saying.
Ask your child to tell you in her own words what happened in a story.
To check your child's understanding of what he is reading, occasionally pause
and ask your child questions about the characters and events in the story.
Ask your child why she thinks a character acted in a certain way and ask your
child to support her answer with information from the story.
Before getting to the end of a story, ask your child what he thinks will
happen next and why.

Ten Ways to Help Your Child Tackle His Homework:
by Peggy Gisler, Ed.S. and Marge Eberts, Ed.S.
1. Have him use an assignment notebook so he knows what homework is required
each day.
2. Introduce a planning calendar and show her how to use it when she begins
to have long-term assignments.
3. Each day he should preview the assignments that he has to do and get the
tough tasks out of the way first. He should write down the order in which he
will do assignments.
4. Teach her to review her work frequently.
5. Get him an organizer, and show him how to use it so that he has a system
for organizing all his school papers.
6. Have her use a book bag to transport books and papers.
7. Encourage him to establish a regular time for doing homework.
8. She should keep old quizzes and tests to prepare for future tests.

time.
