Homework Q&A: Assignments

This is the first in a series of blog posts about homework based on a question I received. Today's topic: assignment pads.

Q: My elementary school child is experiencing trouble meeting homework obligations.  Please give me some suggestions for helping my child be successful with homework.

A: Developing good homework habits in the elementary grades is important to future success in school.  Here is the first in a series of tips for homework success:

~ An assignment pad is vital.  A weekly planner calendar works well, and it will help your child to keep track of long-range assignment, and upcoming tests, as well as daily homework assignments.  In shopping for a planner, look for one that is large enough to record assignments in several subjects each day.  At first your child may need to be reminded to write all assignments down clearly and completely. You may wish to check the planner often early in the school year to encourage its use.

For more on how to help your child with homework, see my new ebook, Helping with Homework.
