CURRICULUM & LEARNING ENVIRONMENT * 1 HOUR * LEVEL 2

Parents must be provided, in writing, the program’s policy on homework. Most school-age children receive homework assignments. In the early primary grades, homework may be minimal. However, by the time children reach the upper elementary grades, homework assignments can be lengthy and increase in difficulty for some. The decision to offer the time and space for homework help raises several issues related to the needs of children and families. 
Some school-age professionals believe that homework should not be a part of the daily child care schedule. They think it is more important for children to have the opportunities to engage in different kinds of activities than those they experience at school. Homework should be done at home, they feel, where parents can give children structure and support, keep track of progress, and congratulate them for their accomplishments.
Other professionals believe providing time and space for doing homework at their program is a way to support children and families. They believe that offering children a variety of choices, including homework, will support the needs of the children and their families. These needs must be considered when deciding whether your program will provide homework help to school-age children.

Helping Children with Learning Disabilities

Children with learning disabilities may require additional homework assistance. Bad experiences with homework can develop frustrations and negative attitudes toward their academic work. Nearly 1 in every 3 children has a learning disability of some sort. It is important to communicate with students and staff members about any difficulties that a student with a learning disability (diagnosed or not) may be experiencing. Perhaps it is due to inappropriate homework or the need for extra assistance with their work. Communicating with the parents and student to determine the necessary course of action is an important step.

Some suggestions for structuring and helping children with learning disabilities do their homework:
  • Focus on short assignments
  • Practice skills already learned in class
  • Provide additional structure as may be needed
  • Be aware of the most helpful type of environment and materials for an individual child
  • Check on their progress regularly
  • Review their completed work
  • Provide immediate rewards for their successes
  • Remain in close contact with the child’s school and family
