[QUOTE="Confused, post: 634250, member: 18100"] SuZir-- You gave me a lot of info and great points! It makes sense on the shorter and longer day thing. We do sit down with him while he does homework, always have. He likes books but for him to focus on actually reading it is a whole other thing. Hes even that way with math word problems, he skips it because he has to read and understand it, to much focusing? At first would punish ( no outside time no electronics) usually for that day sometimes the next. But I agree that the night he worked on it was hard enough on him. He knows hes failing and hes scared of failing the class. Im happy with my kids when they actually sit down and study everyday even if they fail.. because I know they tried. He is in third grade now, and everyday he has 1) 17 spelling words... Monday he writes the words three times each and ABC order, Tuesday he rewrites the words in different colors, Wednesday he does a pyramid thing with them, and Thursday writes a sentence for each word Also starting on Monday or Tuesday he gets a 5-10 chapter book for a second/third grade reader ( 70-99 pages) pictures and big printed words so its not that bad, and starts reading 20 minutes or so a day and at the end of the week a book report is due. He can actually start Friday on the new book so he has time. Class work isnt that much but I will talk to the teacher when I see her again.
