In this episode of the Structured Literacy podcast, Jocelyn examines the mixed research on homework effectiveness, exploring two key studies that provide insights into when homework might actually benefit students. Drawing on research by Hindin and Paratore (2007) showing gains from home repeated reading of classroom texts, and Dolean and Lervag's (2022) study of 440 second-graders demonstrating that moderate homework amounts (approximately 20 minutes daily) improved writing skills when practicing classroom-taught content, she identifies four criteria for effective homework: direct connection to classroom instruction, skills secure enough for independent work, moderate time commitment, and clear consolidation purpose.

Jocelyn provides practical suggestions including phonics resources and connected reading materials while cautioning against one-size-fits-all homework sheets and emphasising the importance of not placing parents in unqualified teaching roles, particularly noting that some research shows parent help can actually have negative impacts on student learning.

Are your students good readers, but poor spellers? If so, you are not alone. Spelling Success in Action addresses phonics, orthography, and morphology to give students a well-rounded understanding of how our language system works.
