Homework & Study Skills: Engaging Families to Support Student Learning

The Homework & Study Skills Kit helps you inspire parents to create and continue successful homework and study habits. Its 200+ pages provide beneficial and practical ideas that any parent and teacher can use to boost a child's academic success. Materials for parents include test-taking strategies, note-taking skills, time management tips and solutions for those who struggle with homework. This kit will keep parents and teachers engaged all year long!

Research proves that as parental support for autonomy on homework increases, student achievement also increases.

A Department of Education study found, “at schools with high levels of outreach—such as sending parents materials to help their child at home—reading scores grew at a rate 50% higher and math scores 40% higher, than in schools with low levels of outreach.” A study co-written by Joyce Epstein found that the level of parent involvement appears to be directly linked to the specific methods that schools and teachers use to encourage involvement at school. And a study by Hoover-Dempsey, et.al. on the effects of parental involvement on homework found that parents became involved when they perceive that their children and teachers want their involvement, and that their involvement will make a difference. And in another study from Johns Hopkins, over 90% of parents surveyed agreed that parental involvement is important. But 80% said they needed more information about how to help their children at home. The Homework and Study Skills kit will help schools bridge this critical gap with research-based ways to engage parents in their child’s homework/study skills and equip them with the age-level tools they can use at home to help. Parent involvement in homework can lead to positive student attitudes, perceptions of personal knowledge and efficacy and higher completion rates of homework—all leading to greater student and school success.
