How can I help my children get ready to go back to school?

Designated Homework Area

Select a quiet spot with plenty of lighting and designate it as a homework area. It can be a corner of your child's room, or a quiet spot in the living or dining room, preferably not within viewing or hearing distance of a television or other distractions. Equip this area with an appropriate sized desk or table and chair, as well as a place for basic school supplies such as paper, pencils, pencil sharpener, dictionary, etc. Use letter trays or small storage boxes to hold basic school supplies such as paper, pencils, pencil sharpener, dictionary, etc., as well as projects in process, upcoming assignments, etc.
