Build Better Homework and Study Habits

Help families support homework without taking control of the work. This Resource Kit helps you provide families with practical ways to build student independence, improve routines and reduce common homework struggles.

This 100+ page Kit serves both elementary and secondary levels and gives families age-appropriate guidance they can use throughout the school year.

Give Families Strategies to Use at Home

Reproducible handouts and newsletter articles cover important topics such as test preparation, time management, organization, responsibility, note-taking, listening, motivation, learning strategies and homework problems.

The Kit also includes answers to common homework questions, ideas that connect study skills to classroom lessons and guidance for effective homework policies.

Educators can share the materials during a family meeting and continue using them for communication throughout the year. This repeated support helps families build routines instead of relying on one event. 

Ready-to-Use Materials Keep Families Engaged All Year

Show the professionally narrated videos, or lead your own session with the PowerPoint presentations, scripts and Leader's Guide. Use the announcements and invitations on social media, websites, email and backpack flyers.

The presentation materials will help staff explain how families can support effort, motivation and responsibility. Families receive clear actions that match their student's grade level and learning needs. 

Two supplemental take home brochures are also included: 50 copies of Top Five Study Skills Every Student Needs 16-page booklets and 50 copies of Homework Time Made Easier and More Effective brochures.
