Help, It is Homework Time!

At times, homework can be a chore to say the least. Here are a few tips on how to turn the chore of homework into a daily routine at your house.


1. Keep up with homework assignments and test dates in an agenda or notebook.

2. Use a household calendar to mark all test dates and activities.

3. Set a regular homework time.

4. Use a timer for study breaks. Take a 5 to 15 minute break after each 1 hour study session.

5. Study in a quiet place, at a desk or table. This will help you stay alert and on task.

6. Write down any questions or concerns you have about the homework and contact your teacher for clarification.

7. Review your homework with a responsible adult.

8. Reward yourself for studying with your favorite snack, a quick chat with a friend, or any other activity that may motivate you to stay on task and complete your assignments.

These are just a few tips that may help homework time at your house become a daily routine.
