Homework & Study Skills: Engaging Families to Support Student Learning

Click Here to View Sample Pages

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

A study from Johns Hopkins found 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.

Bridge this gap and inspire families to create and continue successful homework and study habits with the Homework & Study Skills Kit. Its 100+ pages provide beneficial and practical ideas that any parent and teacher can use to boost a child's academic success. 

How to Use This Kit

The Homework & Study Skills kit offers evidence-based ways to engage families in their child’s homework/study skills and equip them with the age-appropriate tools they can use at home to help. This kit will keep families and teachers engaged all year long!

Family engagement in homework can lead to positive student attitudes and higher completion rates of homework—all leading to greater student and school success. Get started today!
