Homework Help

Connect with your child daily about school.
Establish a regular homework time – early in the evening or the morning for early risers. Amount of time will vary for each student.
Set up a study area – some kids like quiet, or background music, or studying with friends. Turning the TV off and holding phone calls will help focus your child.
Provide supplies needed to do homework – examples include pencils, paper, crayons, markers, ruler, eraser, tape, glue, scissors, sharpener, paper clips, dictionary, etc.
During your child’s homework time, get your “homework” done – pay bills, make a grocery list or plan a menu, read or write a letter. This also makes you available if they need help, but only help if you’re asked.
Older children should be encouraged to use their agenda to keep track of assignments, projects, presentations and tests.
After-school homework clubs can often be found at schools, libraries or community centers. Some schools offer online lessons.
High schools may offer peer tutoring, and there’s a free online tutoring service for teens at www.ilc.org; and for students in francophone schools: www.sosdevoirs.org.
Students should have time to participate in other activities – speak to teacher if not so (more often over-scheduling is a problem… does your child have TOO many activities?)
