English is one of the most complex languages to learn, but being fluent in it can open doors to academic and career opportunities for your children. If they're having a hard time with the subject, perhaps you can help them with your homework. From creating a conducive space for studying to buying high-quality study materials like the Reliable English Class 10 book, here are some tips on making homework time a bit easier:
Focus on weak areas
Among the topics covered in 10th grade English are reading comprehension, using context to determine the meanings of words, inferring intended meaning, and using context clues, word structure, and prior knowledge to understand the text. What specific areas is your child struggling with? Focus on those.
It’s also important to set aside time to learn some new vocabulary while doing homework. Learning two to three new words a day is a good idea. It’s not too much that it’s overwhelming, but it’s enough to expand your child’s vocabulary over time.
Start right away!
Many kids make the mistake of putting off doing their English homework later at night. They don’t realise that the key to success is learning how to budget their study time. As a parent, you can impose a homework schedule that will allow them to become more efficient. It’s always a good idea to have a home or calendar, especially if your child has other activities (like sports) to attend to on some days.
Have a space for doing homework
Where does your child study? Are they in front of the TV? Or perhaps in the dining room, in the middle of the chaos of dishes being cleared? Are they trying to do their homework in bed? They will find it harder to focus.
Provide them with a place that’s free of noise and distractions. Perhaps they can do their English homework in the bedroom, on a proper study table.
Use a good book
A good reference book can help your 10th grader breeze through homework and prepare for tests. Choose a book that covers all the important topics with accompanying quizzes and tests to help your child understand what they’ve learned.
