Helping with homework

Keep practice short and playful: 5–10 minutes of focused work after class is most effective.

Consistency beats duration for young learners.

Step-by-step

  • Review the teacher's short goal for the week.
  • Do a 5‑minute practice together using prompts from the lesson.
  • Praise effort and note one target for next time.

Common mistakes

  • Turning practice into a test — avoid pressure.
  • Over-correcting every mistake instead of highlighting one focus.
