Homework vs Studying
Although the words are used synonymously,
there are some important differences.
01
02
Homework
is material assigned by a teacher with a specific due date. It involves reinforcing knowledge and combining key skills. Homework is an addition to class material and an important part of your child’s grade. Homework is a way for the student to begin learning at their own pace while involving their parents in the process. Homework often involves a lot of repetition.
03
Studying
refers to time students set aside to go over key skills and concepts from class and make sure their knowledge is strengthened. It is going over class material to ensure complete understanding. Studying is about learning on your own time, without the specific guidance of a teacher.
Encourage
your child to study every day in short bursts, not just for the whole day before a test. If students commit to spending fifteen minutes going over the day's lesson in their hardest class, they will have a stronger likelihood in truly understanding the material.

05
Studying
goes above and beyond what the teacher provides for the student. Help your student create their own study guides. Studying will also help them understand the value of spending their own time outside of school.
Studying
will certainly help your child not just with schoolwork but in life and beyond!.
