Stay involved

• Set a regular time for doing homework EVERYDAY!
• Provide a place in the house for study.
• Know when homework is due and make sure your child turns in the work on time.
• Read every night. It is the most important part of homework. This is so important!
• After reading ask your child to summarize what he/she has read.
• Ask your child to show you evidence in the text when he/she is answering questions about the book.
