Let your child experiment and see what works best. Set a schedule. It is our intent at the Albert S. Hall School to individualize homework for students so that 40-60 minutes of daily work after school will be all that is required to complete assigned tasks. Block out homework time every day. Identify learning styles.
Children learn in different ways.
Some learn primarily through their eyes - visual learners. Some learn through their ears - auditory learners. Some need to involve their entire bodies - kinesthetic learners. Experiment to see what type of learning is best for your child. Then help him or her plan homework activities that support that learning style.
