Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

This well-written, informative book is essential reading for parents. The authors have provided a sound basis for dealing with homework questions and problems. The section on troubleshooting deals with organization, preparing for tests, and handling disagreements with teachers. The rest of the work is divided into chapters for each subject area. Concrete ideas and examples are given. Every chapter also contains a series of questions often asked by parents. The answers are straightforward and practical. The final chapter contains a number of worksheet masters. Most are well developed; the book report section is weak. However, the wealth of superb information makes this an excellent source for teachers and parents. Joanne Troutner, Tippecanoe Sch. Corp., Lafayette, Ind.

This review is from: How to Help Your Child With Homework: Every Caring Parent's Guide to Encouraging Good Study Habits and Ending the Homework Wars : For Parents of Children Ages 6-13 (Paperback)

This booked was loaned to me by the school guidance councelor because our daughter was having some problems in school. I wanted a copy for myself for future reference. Things are broken down into subject and are age appropriate. I like the question and answer sections in each chapter that helped me to see that my child was not the only one with this particular problem. It was helpful by giving you ideas that you may have never thought of. It covers just about every subject you could want (except foreign language). This is a wonderful book for parents of elementary and middle school students.
