It�s clearly known, that whenever one mentions �homework� to a child in school, there will always be misgivings or displeasure in wanting to complete the task given. For the dyslexic learners, they would resent it, as they often have to struggle to complete the given task. I would like to share with you, what I had done for my children and my students. Instead of using the word �homework�, I use the word �practice�. Psychologically, I found it helps lessen the build-up of stress a child goes through when the word is used. Our main aim is to ensure a child enjoys learning and experiences a sense of accomplishment when the task given is completed. For it�s the willingness to learn that will bring the desired results.
