Homework is often a revision of what is covered in class.
A key to success is being organised.
Tips for all ages
These tips are relevant for all students Kindergarten to Year 12.
- Ask your child about their homework, know what they are learning about.
- Get into a routine of doing homework at a set time, ideally a little each day.
- Have a set place where the kids can do their homework, with the equipment they’ll need:
- pens and pencils
- highlighters
- scissors
- glue
- scrap paper
- ruler
- Turn devices off so there are no disruptions.
- If there’s no set homework, encourage your child to do some reading. For younger children, it’s great for them to read aloud to you. For older kids, ask them to tell you about what they have been reading.
- Don’t jump in and give answers. Homework is about helping kids become independent learners.
- If your child is having difficulty with their homework, contact their class teacher for help.
