Student Support

Homework Routine

Now that we are back to school full time, most of your child’s school work is covered in class  (I hear your big sigh of relief!). However, it is a good idea to maintain the good routines you set up for your child to support them in completing their homework. The following will help in developing organisational and time management skills:

 

 

 

 

Make checklists and prioritise; practise strategies for moving on if stuck or when they have made  a mistake.

 

 

 

 

 

Keep a schedule including breaks and tasks, teach time management by getting them to guess how long tasks will take.

 

 

 

 

 

Use a visual timer, remove phone and other devices that are not needed

 

 

 

 

 

Have a set space for work (make sure it is clean and clear of distractions); teach skills for staying organised and tidy.
