How much time should be spent each night on
Homework?
Children in grades 3-6 can handle 30 - 60 minutes a day
In middle school, the amount of homework will vary by subject. Most middle school children will also have long-term projects, such as research papers and science fair projects, that may have deadlines weeks away.
How can you help your child with
homework?
Check your child’s agenda to see if his or her homework is complete
Assume that your child will have studying to do every night
Help your child set daily routines to support what he or she is learning
Teachers need to see where your child is having trouble. Allow them to make mistakes on homework assignments
