Homework Help Books

This book actually came out in good time for me. It really helped me organize my room after just having it redone. also the fact that this book was able to help me organize my school stuff was good too. Junior year is kinda hectic as far school work and this book was able to help show that it's not as impossible to stay organized as it looks. I really enjoyed the great tips that this book gave also on how to organize your room. I actually took a day this weekend to Really organize my room the way that this suggested and so far it's working really well!!
Definitely recommend it for someone who thinks its just about impossible to get organized, much like myself! haha

This book has really helped me stay organized. Tells me where to keep my papers how to have folders and keep on track. It's also a great way to learn tactics you never heard of before. definitely get this book to keep on on the right track and not suffer another F.

This book teaches a great system for getting and staying organized. It is easy to understand and engaging. I found the section on benefits very motivating and encouraging. These are really life skills that are valuable in school and adult life. A real winner!

My son Sam is going into fifth grade and was given this book as a gift. After reading it, this is what he wrote...

"Where's my stuff?" by Samantha Moss and Lesley Schwartz was so helpful to me as a student entering middle school.

The chapter called "School Stuff" had so many great ideas to get organized for fifth grade. It showed you 3 ways to organize your papers and notes. The chapter also taught me how to organize my study space at home. In addition, it showed me how to use my backback and set up my locker. The tips in this chapter are sure to make my year GREAT!

This is the ideal book for a child going into middle school!

I just LOVE this book!!. I have been teaching for almost a decade and continue to struggle teaching my 5th grade students how to organize themselves for school--I will most certainly use this fun, colorful and easy-to-read-and-understand book as a guide for my students AND for myself!!

The title sums up this 193 page book well. It is clear that the teacher-author speaks from experience. I'm glad there is now a revised and updated edition. Parents of regular and special education students in elementary grades benefit from Schumm's skill in showing how to enhance learning abilities in children.

From Dean R. Garrison, author of "Ending the Homework Wars":

"How to Help Your Child with Homework" provides parents with an exceptional set of strategies and tips for helping children do their best on homework assignments and overcome learning difficulties in specific subject areas. This excellent resource is designed to help children learn and master the knowledge and academic skills covered in children's homework assignments. The book is written by an accomplished teacher to support parents in their important "parent-as-teacher" role. In contrast, my book, "Ending the Homework Wars," focuses on the structure and support children need to get on track--- and stay on track--- with fulfilling homework responsibilities, to put an end to power struggles and procrastination, and to overcome many other homework-related difficulties.

"Ending the Homework Wars" offers a powerful program for achieving exceptional homework results with even the most challenging children and teens. Among the book's unique features are the Homework Success Master Plan, enabling parents to design a step-by-step program tailor-made to the unique needs of each particular child or teen. "Ending the Homework Wars" includes a powerful, proven approach for gaining significant improvement in children's behavior and motivation, step-by-step routines that simplify daily homework tasks and responsibilities, strategies for helping students stay organized and keep track of assignments and materials, re-evaluating children's needs for tutoring services, guidelines for healthy nutrition and exercise, strategies for improving parent consistency, guidelines for addressing children's special needs, including children with ADHD, gifted underachievers and children with learning disabilities, and trouble-shooting strategies.

Together, "How to Help Your Child with Homework" and "Ending the Homework Wars" provide a powerful combination of resources that enables parents both to meet children's specific learning needs and provide the type of structure, behavior management system and support that brings out the best in their children.

Rotten Ralph is at it again, as mean and self-serving as ever! Sarah is trying to do a school project on the ancient Egyptians and their culture. Ralph could not care less. UNTIL he realizes just how important all of this is to Sarah and how very much she wants his assistance (as well as how much interference he has run in tangling up all her plans!). Gantos takes the ever-lovable, but cantankerous, feline he has masterfully perfected in previous Rotten Ralph books and stepped up the pace to a chapter-book format. Gantos exposes readers to various interesting Egyptian facts throughout the course of the book without ever boring them or "beating" a lesson into them (i.e., Egyptians invented pancakes). Rubel's illustrations are as right-on as ever. Soooooo cool, Gantos! A real winner!

Jack Gantos' adorably mischievous feline, Rotten Ralph, is at it again! Sarah has a big project due for school about Ancient Egypt and she desperately wants Ralph to assist her. In typical Ralph fashion, however, Ralph wants to do anything but what his ever-so-patient "owner" Sarah wants him to do. Gantos uses the conversations between Sarah and Ralph to inform readers about various aspects of life and culture in Ancient Egypt, but does so in such a way that it doesn't come across as "teachy," but entertaining instead. From the fact that Ancient Egyptians regarded cats as super-special deities to the fact that Ancient Egyptians were the first to invent pancakes, the material presented in this new chapter-book approach from Gantos and Rubel will interest and appeal to children who are ready to graduate from the previous Rotten Ralph books to something they can manage on their own. Rubel's artwork is as charming as ever and Gantos' wit is matchless as Ralph takes on a whole new format of fun and frolic! Sooooooooo cool! A definite winner.

This has saved me many times when I sudddenly find out I have to run a group minutes before it starts. It also has been a great supplement for indivdual needs that go beyond our curriculum.

Readable, informative, and even funny at times. A really concise treatment of a most important topic. Great integration of contemporary examples and classical references. A must for parents and their children.

This book is written directly to the point with intelligence and wit, yet it is a comprehensive and sophisticated treatment of the worrisome topic. There is obviously much thoughtful experience serving as the background for the practical advice offered to parents. The discussion of various types of homework problems and the inclusive approach for remediation are particularly good.

It is your guide to cyberspace whether you want a photo of a bacteria to spruce up a report, need help writing a poem, practice with math facts, or a timeline of history. All sites were carefully reviewed to be safe and tested with actual homework assignments from elementary and middle-school textbooks. So, don't waste time surfing from one useless page to another and ending up with a report full of incorrect data - use this book full of content-rich and reliable sites instead. Not only will you get your homework done by using these sites, you will amaze your teachers and friends with your expanded knowledge of all subjects. Then, I hope you'll have time to send me an e-mail and share what you've learned!

Homework is a fact of life for children. This common-sense approach to making sense out of the nightly "battle" is a must have for any parent. Bonus: Kids will do their homework. Parents do not have to fight the "battles." and kids do better in school.
Inspired. Easy to understand. I heartily recommend this to all young parents. Even those in Turkey. (Would you believe you can get this in translation?! As if they don't have other things on their minds.

Great workbook! Interventions are easy to use and reasonable. Great reference for anyone working with a child with a tic disorder. I counsel students regularly and worksheets can be used for children with other disabilities as well. Must have resource!

I'm a teacher and I love this book. What a great resource for parents and teachers! The format is so user-friendly.
