Round 4: Surviving Summer Homework

It's everybody's favorite summertime activity: homework! Or maybe everybody's summertime misery. If your kids aren't just raring to read, write, and do 'rithmetic, you'll need some strategies for dragging those young brains through their summer assignments. For this week's Round 4, Terri chatted with Charlie Zegers, who writes about sports and also about parenting kids on the autism spectrum, about the summer-homework situation for kids both with and without special needs, how parents can organize that work to keep everyone on track and out of last-minute panic, and what accommodations you might want to ask for to keep summer homework from ruining your summer. For more on the topic, read tips on homework help, math worksheets, and reading routines on Terri's Parenting Special Needs site.
