Slide3Use Checklists Use  Checklists Help your child get into the habit of using checklists for keeping track of homework assignments. A small pad or notebook could be dedicated to listing homework assignments.  Once assignments have been completed, crossing off items will foster a sense of accomplishment. Some children may prefer to use a calendar or even a personal digital assistant (PDA) to keep track of due dates and to help organize assignments.

Slide4PrioritizePrioritize Before beginning assignments, encourage your child to number the assignments in the order in which they are to be completed. Some children prefer to start with work not too long or difficult. Sometimes leave the easy things for last Set realistic goals and stop along the way to check progress. A timer may be a helpful tool!
