Study Tip of the Month

Here are five tips to make homework time easier—for you and your child:

1. Have a regular place for your child to do homework. Use a desk or table in a quiet room. Be sure there's plenty of light.

2. Find a regular time for homework. You may want to make a rule, "No television until homework is finished."

3. During homework time, turn off the TV and radio.

4. Help your child plan how she'll use her time.

5. Set a good example. While your child is doing homework, spend some time reading or working yourself. Then when homework is done, you can both talk about how much you've accomplished.
