HOME Time to Study!!


Here are a few tips for study skills that might come in handy during this school year: (Taken from the "Journal for Christian Educators")

Schedule a daily homework time - This should be 30 minutes to an hour a day. Be sure that your child knows that this time is devoted to only academics such as practice or review of a subject.

Set up a proper study area - Select a study area that is well-lit and free from distractions.

Create a homework survival kit - Use a container or shoebox to store some of these items: pencils, writing paper, folders for reports, index cards, crayons, ruler, glue, markers, stapler, tape, dictionary, paper clips, scissors.

Return homework on time - Returning homework assignments on the day they are due goes a long way in developing responsible students. Be aware of the homework policy.

Do homework independently - Homework is an extended school assignment that students are expected to complete on their own. You may only give guidance to your child.
