Homework is often a bugbear that causes much distress. It need not be. Parents have been the child's earliest teachers. They have taught their children to speak, to walk, to dress. There is still a role for parents when the children are at school. Help with homework can bolster the work of the teacher and support your child along the road to better literacy. Helping your child with homework explains in easy terms how you can assist your child with their schoolwork.
