Homework checklist to share with your child
• List your assignments in order of priority and with due dates.
• Think about how much time each will take.
• Have everything you need before you get started—books, paper, a dictionary, etc.
• Jot down any questions you have about the work. Call a classmate for clarification. Or follow up with your teacher to explain any instructions or things you don’t understand.
• Check your work when you’re done. Check math problems with a calculator. Read over any written work. Sometimes it’s better to wait a little before you check a paper or report so you can read it with a fresh eye.
• Reward yourself when you finish an especially challenging task. Take a break and call a friend, watch a favorite show, read for fun, or listen to music.
