Re: After experimenting with many approaches to homework, I have found a 'key word' to be most successful
I too am a huge fan of the 'key word' / only one word approach. I have found it so much more successful as it focuses parents and discourages the 'nagging' approach that occurs if parents try and correct everything the child says. I find it is helpful to take some time explaining the approach. The choice of a word that the child is likely to use is also important.
Once you get that correct 'homework' becomes something that happens everyday. If parents take on board the idea that home practise is necessary if progress is going to happen, then our job is much easier.
