How to Help Your Kindergartner With Their Homework

As a parent with a child in Year R (the British equivalent of kindergarten), I know that homework can start young.  My daughter is learning to read.  She comes home with reading books and activities that we are expected to do with her at home (and a homework form we have to fill out).

Even the brightest children and best parents can find it hard at times to be motivated to do homework together.  Here are some ideas that have worked for my family.  Click here for ideas on how to help your kindergartner with their homework. 

Please let me know if you have any other good ideas for helping your kids (especially kindergartners) with their homework.
