Finally, here is a comprehensive, down-to-earth plan to turn homework from drudgery into a genuine learning experience for both parent and child, and make even the most resistant child interested-even enthusiastic-about their schoolwork. Friendly and full of anecdotes from the authors' own child development practice, Hassle-Free Homework includes: The Six Week Plan: A guide to developing learning skills, including organization, motivation, memory, and concentration. Homework Hotspots: Concrete tips for helping children with specific subjects, like math, science, spelling, and other problems areas. Homework Helpers: Show how physical activity, music, visual arts, and the home computer can be homework motivators, and list recommended educational computer programs and books. Through well-constructed and constructive approaches, the Clarks show that homework can represent an opportunity rather than a burden. -Howard Gardner, Harvard University, Graduate School of Education
