The Helping Your Child publication series aims to provide parents with the tools and information necessary to help their children succeed in school and life. These booklets feature practical lessons and activities to help their school aged and preschool children master reading, understand the value of homework and develop the skills and values necessary to achieve and grow.

Teachers should not abandon homework. Instead, they should improve its instructional quality.

For homework to be effective, it should support educational goals, take into account students’ abilities and needs, and strengthen the school-home link.

Despite advances in grading and reporting, imprecision and lack of meaning persist.
