[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 377150, member: 6705"] Jett is actually pretty good with math, but reading is a struggle. So what I did for a couple of years was break it down. 4 pages of homework? OK - do one, break for 15 minutes, do one, etc. Now when it's the stuff he is REALLY having problems with? Maybe half a page. Or... Have him start at the beginning, if he starts to get frustrated with one problem go to the next. When he reaches the end, have him work back up (end to beginning) on the ones he couldn't get. IEP - yes, you CAN have them reduce homework. in my opinion, homework should be 1) stuff that didn't get finished in class or 2) stuff to reinforce the lesson - NOT BUSY WORK like much of it seems to be. And... I've never met a 7-y/o that could stay ON TASK all the time. difficult child [B][I]or[/I][/B] easy child. Heck, I'm 37 and can't do that! Our kids' old elementary school took away recess and/or had closed lunches for unifnished work. Strangely, the kids had more and more unfinished work... Till we went to the board with Jett's IEP.
