homework charts

July 27, 2018 By Katie 3 Comments

Back to school brings mixed emotions in my home. For the kids, of course, it’s mostly sadness that the hazy lazy days of a hot summer have come and gone. It’s back to school and “too much homework” as they always say. For myself, as a Mom of a growing brood, there are the pros: first day of school signs and pictures, cute back to school clothes, quieter and more productive days, etc. But with the start of school, there is also the realization that I only get so many fun summers with my little ones before they want to hang out with their friends more than Mom. 😪 I also know that those clothes and supplies can cost a small fortune and with school comes endless homework, extracurricular activities, and the endless stream of paperwork and dates and times to remember for  each  child. Yep, definitely a mixed bag!

Of all the mixed emotions there is a constant that always seems to be a source of frustration in our home: homework. When it comes to homework I’m very, very comfortably between the  tiger moms and the free-rangers, who respectively are strict disciplinarians who want sky-high academic results at all times and parents content to let their kids learn by doing and being independent as possible.

I’m not saying any of the either of the above approaches are more correct than the other, to each their own and every child needs to be parented in the way that suits them best. But I’m definitely not going to lose it if my kids miss a day of homework. Neither am I going to let them just play every day. Balance in all things is my philosophy. I’d assume most Moms rest in this cozy middle area with me. 🙂

In order to find the balance between too much and too little homework, I’ve spent some time creating homework charts, checklists, and planners for a variety of situations. ( I’ll be adding more and more over time so check back if you don’t see the one you want. Or leave a comment and I might  be able to squeeze in some time to create new ones based off reader feedback.). You may also like these printable first day of school signs and bedtime routine charts too. #justsayin.

I hope one of the ones below, whether you use rewards or eschew them, works for your family and each specific child no matter what parenting style you use in your home! Just click on the text links below each preview image to download your PDF and then print your preferred hw chart for your home.

WEEKLY HOMEWORK CHARTS

Below are a variety of weekly homework charts and planners. While they vary a little bit most of them allow some combination of assignments or class, days of the week, dates, due dates, daily reading tracking, and some form of completion in the form of a checkbox or otherwise. I hope these weekly homework planners make life easier this year!

HOMEWORK REWARD CHARTS

The charts below are set up for monthly tracking BUT just because they are monthly homework charts doesn’t mean you can’t set rewards at the daily or weekly level. I’ve always found it to be more effective when I tailor the rewards to each child and subject. Sometimes they need a reward on a daily basis (really struggling to form a good habit), sometimes on a weekly basis and sometimes the reward is such that they better do their homework for an entire month if I’m holding up my end of the bargain! So, whether you use these as a homework sticker chart or simply use checkmarks or something else entirely, hopefully, you’ll find a method that will work for your child! Even better if we can inspire them to  love learning and the reward chart becomes a temporary aid to unlock a lifetime of learning!

How to Use a Simple Homework Progress Tracker

The homework chart allows you and your child to keep track of several homework related activities. It is important that you help your child with this for the first few weeks to ensure that your child understands how to use it. You could also involve your child’s teacher with certain portions of this chart. For example, you could ask your child’s teacher to initial the chart when all homework is complete or when your child writes down their assignments accurately. This might be more appropriate for some children, particularly those who have a history of being dishonest about schoolwork.

Before you begin, you should decide where you will keep the chart. For this chart, it might be best to slide it into the front outside of a binder with a clear plastic cover, or slide the chart into a clear sheet protector inside the binder. It is important that the chart is in a place that is readily accessible and visible. Kids who have ADHD can benefit if the chart is in a spot where they will easily see it. This will help them remember to use it.

Step 1: Establish The Baseline

For the first week you simply sit with your child and go through the worksheet together each day. For each activity the child completes, put a sticker, star, checkmark, or smiley face in the corresponding square. It is important to ignore a bad attitude, whining, etc. Focus only on whether the task is complete. It is not recommended to put any negative words or symbols such as “No” or a frowning face.

At the end of the week, count up the number of positive marks your child earned each day or for the entire week. This is the baseline. Now that you know the baseline, you can set a goal for the following week.

Step 2: Establish a Goal

You can set daily goals, weekly goals, or both. Here are some examples:

Daily goal and reward system: The maximum number of positive marks your child can earn each day is 5. Suppose your child currently gets 2 positive marks each day. It is not reasonable to ask your child to immediately begin getting 5 check marks each day. Rather you want to start where she is and slowly work forward. You might make it a goal for your child to get 3 positive marks per day next week. Each day your child reaches 3 positive marks next week, she would earn a reward such as extra TV time.

Weekly goal and reward system: You could also offer weekly rewards. Suppose your child only achieved a baseline of 10 positive marks for the week. For the next week you might set a goal for your child to earn 15 positive marks. If she gets 15 or more positive marks next week, this would earn her a larger reward in the weekend such as having a sleepover.

Step 3: Continue to Evaluate Progress

As your child achieves each goal, you can slightly increase the goal for the following week. Don’t hesitate to mix up the rewards if your child is getting bored, or offer two choices for your child to choose from.

Purpose of Printable Homework Charts

Why should you use printable charts ? Structure, organization, and immediate feedback are just a few reasons why weekly homework charts may be the answer to your prayers regarding your child's academic performance. You can take away privileges, ground them, and use other forms of punishment, but until you help your child solve his or her organizational issues, you're really not solving the problem. Some ways a homework chart can help your child include:

• Keep assignments organized long-term
• Stay motivated to complete homework
• Feel a sense of accomplishment when checking off assignments
• Reinforce positive child behavior and promote responsibility
• Commit assignments to memory through the act of writing them down

Homework Chart Ideas

Homework charts are easy to find and print, but they aren't always easy to use. Keep in mind that if you focus too much on the chart, however, your child may begin to resent it. You want this to be a positive experience, not a negative one! Help your child create a new habit and make the most of these organizational tools using creative means>

• Create a notebook filled with homework charts that serve as an instant checklist for kids, parents, and teachers to access and review.
• Assign one color for each subject by printing each chart in a different color or using a colored pencil to color in the subjects.
• Attach a file folder or magnetic clip to your refrigerator and place each week's homework chart in the folder or on the clip so it's seen daily.
• Add a reward system like putting star stickers next to work completed then offer a reward like going to dinner or a movie for a certain number of stars.
• Address any consequences for failing to use the homework chart adequately such as limiting TV time.
• Review the charts at the end of each week with your child to emphasize the importance of organization and reinforce topics.

Success Through Organization

Kids' lives are busy and it's easy to forget about things like small homework assignments. Give your kids the tools they need to succeed in school such as homework charts and other organizational tools.

Free Homework Reward Chart

2 Comments · As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Confession time: I have been a bit of a helicopter parent when it comes to homework. The kids walk in the door, and I ask them for their homework folders. I look through all of their papers and have a scheduled homework time to get it all done. Some of this is good. That said, I have realized that my kids don’t take initiative and haven’t developed their own motivation to get their work done. It can be a battle, and I want them to begin to take responsibility for their own learning. I don’t want homework time to be a constant source of tension in our relationship. Yes, I am there to aid them as they develop in this area, but I have realized that they need to learn to care about their homework more than I do. I want to tell you a little bit more about why I decided to create this free homework reward chart for my kids. I also encourage you to visit my post called “ 5 Simple Ways to Improve Homework Time ” to learn more about some of the actions I take to set up kids for success while they work on homework.

While I’m trying to let go of control when it comes to homework time I’m having small heart palpitations. Not really, but there is some internal stress involved. I explained to the kids they’d be taking responsibility for their homework time. If they don’t get their work done, they will suffer the consequences. It will mean they won’t get Friday fun day in class because they’ll have to finish their packet. They will risk having reduced points or incomplete assignments. I believe it’s good for kids to learn to suffer consequences and not be rescued. It helps them grow. So, where do the heart palpitations come in? They’re not taking the initiative to do it on their own…at least not this week since we have started. I know they haven’t yet suffered the consequences, so I’m hoping the motivation comes. While I believe it’s good to let them experience consequences, I never said it was simple.

In ways it has become easier around the house. There’s not as much nagging to get stuff done. I’m not forcing them to sit in one spot until their work is complete. On the other hand, I’m shocked they’re not wanting to get it done. I was a pretty self-motivated student and the thought of not getting an assignment done just wasn’t an option in my mind. So, to watch my kids play and galavant around knowing that this homework is all going to pile up on them isn’t easy. So, for me right now it’s an internal struggle.

I should probably wait and see how things play out with this, but I’m also developing a plan B, which is where this free homework reward chart comes into play.

Should you do Reward with your Children?

No, I do not think kids should be rewarded for everything. I actually really try and limit how many rewards are offered because I want them to do things just because it is right or good. That said, I do think there is a benefit to easing relationships and tensions by offering some external rewards. Some of my philosophy is played out in my belief about chores found here . Essentially, I see rewards in life experienced in a couple ways: intrinsically and externally. There is the internal reward where we feel good when we do something nice, work hard or achieve. There are also external awards that are received which can include monetary benefits, compliments, promotions or good grades. Because I see these two types of rewards played out in real life, I think it is perfectly acceptable to have this modeled in our home.

Yes, there are things we expect of our children. They have responsibilities and we should help them learn to experience that good feeling you get from doing the right thing just because. We don’t want to raise a generation that feels entitled to something just because they’ve done what they should. There are also times, however, where they can receive some form of compensation and external celebration for the work they have accomplished. You might choose to do this in your home to motivate, ease tension or because you want your child to learn to earn things.

This free homework reward chart  (click on link to print) was created, in our home, to act as motivation. I like to motivate my kids by offering special time with me. Therefore, I am going to have it so that if they do a bit of their homework every day without me asking then they get special one-on-one time with me on the weekend. This doesn’t have to be anything big. It can be extra story time at night, a game, a puzzle or a trip to the store together. Another option is to use this chart without any reward attached at all. The feedback emojis might feel like reward enough to your child. You could also do a bonus reward if they complete their homework daily for five weeks in a row.

Printable Homework Charts for Teachers & Students

Classroom Homework Charts Introduction

Inspire your students to complete and turn in their homework by using our printable Homework Charts in your classroom. These homework charts work especially well with students who are reluctant to do homework or have a tendency to forget to turn it in. You can also share special Homework Charts with parents to help them with the challenge of homework completion at home. Just share this link .

Behavior charts, award certificates, feelings charts, and much more

Selecting a Homework Chart for Your Students

When selecting a Homework Chart, consider whether you want to track homework for one subject or many subjects. If you want to track homework for a single subject, use a Homework Chart that requires five repetitions, one for each day of the week Monday through Friday. If you want to track homework for several subject areas, choose one of the weekly Homework Charts which looks more like a calendar grid and has space for days of the week, as well as headings at the top for each subject area.

Using Our Printable Homework Charts

Using a Homework Chart can help take the stress out of the parental role of making sure homework is completed. When a child or teen understands what is expected and can see the chart posted as a reminder, it can provide a needed nudge. Others need more than a nudge(!) and will need expectations clearly outlined in order to receive an incentive reward.

Keep it Interesting

Watch for new opportunities to celebrate your students’ homework successes. Look for students who are making progress, even if there’s still a lot of room for improvement. Remember that baby steps are cause for celebration, too. Start with simple expectations and grow from there. Aim to keep things fresh, adjusting goals, using new incentives and selecting different charts from our collection.

Enjoy and Have Fun!

If you like using our Classroom Homework Charts, then please use our social share buttons to tell your friends and family about them.

If there are any more free printable reading incentive charts that you would like us to add to this collection, then please leave a comment below.

There is no need to go into the benefits of reading. Everyone understands the importance. However, many teachers and parents are constantly looking for ways to get their kids and students to read more. Today, kids spend way too much time in front of screens and not enough time reading.

One of the ways people find they can encourage kids to read is by using reading charts. These charts track the number or pages or the time spent reading.

How to Use the Reading Charts

Let students choose what they want to read.

When they choose what they want to read they will spend more time reading and it won’t be considered a “punishment”. Some kids will probably choose only comics. Some teachers, do not consider comics reading whereas others claim that it is better than nothing and it will also help their reading skills.

Offer an award or incentive

Offer some reward when kids read 10 or 20 books. Some of our charts have a section to add this reward. This will motivate them to read more. This reward can be no homework for a day, a treat, or anything else that will motivate them.

Ask students to write a note each time they read

This note can include a new word they added to their vocabulary, something interesting about the book, something they didn’t like about the book, etc. The idea is to get them thinking about what they read.

When they finish reading a book ask them for their opinion. They can write either what they liked about the story or what they didn’t like or both.

Don’t make the written tasks overwhelming

The idea is to get the kids to read and to enjoy reading so don’t ask them too many questions. We really want them to develop good reading habits and a big part of that is to make them want to read and to actually enjoy it.

Let kids read at their own pace

Do not dictate how many pages each child has to read unless you see some kids are taking advantage of this. One child might read 20 pages in the allotted time whereas another reads 10 pages only. Try to let them read at their own pace.

Keep all the reading charts in a binder

When you keep all the charts you will show the progress that they might not see when they don’t check all their old charts. When they look back and see how much they read they will feel proud and get a feeling of accomplishment.

Ask them to make a note if they enjoyed the book or not

This will show them which books they enjoyed and will help them choose similar books in the future. We want them to choose books they enjoy so they keep on reading.

How to get kids to read

9 ways to get children to read.

9 fun and original ways to get your kids to read and have fun while doing so!

1. Find fun activities related to books.

Let your child write the end of the story . Once your child has read the beginning of a book for the first time ask him to tell you the rest of the story the way he would like it to play out. If he is old enough he can write it down and even add his own pictures. When he has finished he can read it to you. After that, he can read the original book to see how the author chose to complete the story.

Make a play about the book – Once your children have read a book, encourage them to make a play about it. They can invite over some friends if they want/need additional actors. Give them ideas to make props, create their own invitations, and even entrance tickets. Once they have completed rehearsals, you can invite some people (such as grandparents or the friends’ parents) over to watch the play. Don’t forget to applaud and tell them how wonderful they are! You can also take a home video of the play and transfer it to a DVD. Buy a DVD sticker on which you can write the name of the play, the name of the actors and you can even add their photo. Your kids will be so proud to have their own DVD. It is a great thing to keep and watch in a few years (assuming we are able to watch DVD’s in a few years! Try listening to a cassette or record today 🙂 ).

Make an art project related to a book your kids just read. There are thousands of ideas for art projects online for young and older kids. Find one related to the book that you would like to make.

Visit a place related to the book – For example, if your child reads the book “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” maybe you could visit a chocolate factory (many factories have a visitor’s center for kids). If your child reads a book about animals, you could visit the zoo.

Ask your child to draw a picture about the book and have it framed to hang in her room.

Make your own dictionary – buy a phone book for your child. Each time she encounters a word that she is not familiar with, she can write the word and the meaning in her phone book (after either asking you the meaning or preferably looking it up). Writing the meaning of a world often helps to remember it. When she looks back she will see just how many words she has added to her vocabulary! It is also helpful when she forgets the meaning of a word she has previously looked up. This is a great tool for kids reading in a second language.

Make bookmarks that will be fun to use . There are thousands of ideas online if you need inspiration!

Find related printables online . There are many websites that offer fun printable activities related to certain books.

2. Use reading charts and set reading goals.

Use a reading chart (see above) to keep track of reading progress and motivate your children. The reward can be extra screen time, a fun activity, or enabling your child to go to sleep later on a weekend. If you are not on a tight budget, educational games are a great reward. There are many games that are both fun and really educational. The more they read, the more prizes they can earn! You can also set up a point system. Each book is worth a certain number of stickers on the book chart (it could be one it could be more depending on length and difficulty). The more points they earn, the bigger the prize that they can get. They can either “spend” their points on a smaller prize or save up for a bigger prize! For example, once they complete an entire book chart they can get a smaller prize but if they complete two book charts then they can get a bigger prize. This will reward them for reading and teach them to save. We offer free printable “ Book Bucks ” with a table that shows kids what their prize will be for earning book bucks (depending on how many they earn).

3. Set up a comfortable reading spot.

Some spots look so comfy you just want to curl up with a good book. Try to arrange a similar spot for your child. It can be a comfortable sofa, chair, or even just cushions on the floor.

4. Set a good example.

If your children see you reading often they will understand that books should be a part of their life too!

5. Make regular trips to the library.

Make this a family activity. Read stories together there and take books home for each family member. It’s a fun and cheap way to spend time together and everyone enjoys it. It also sets a good example!

6. Help kids find an author that they love or books about a topic they are interested in.

Often, there are specific books or authors that kids love, but you might need to help them find them. Once they do, they might be hooked!

7. Discuss the books

Ask your child to tell you about the book she read once she completes it. Ask her questions. Try to ask both simple questions, open-ended questions, and more complex ones that make her think about the meaning of the book and the moral of the story.

If your kids are addicted to TV and hate reading why not get them a foreign movie with subtitles? If they want to watch, they will have to read! In time they will significantly improve the speed of their reading.

9. Start slowly for those you have difficulty reading.

If reading an entire book seems overwhelming, then you can ask them to read a few pages or a chapter. Setting small goals sometimes enables children to accomplish more than bigger goals that just make them give up quickly.

Make A Homework Chart To Keep Your Child On Track!

Inside: Make a homework chart to keep your child organized and stress-free. It can even increase overall motivation to get work done on time!

Doing your homework after school is a right of passage. To this day, it remains a key educational component and a common part of a kid’s after school routine. But homework can quickly fall to the wayside in lieu of hanging out with friends, watching TV, and finding snacks in the kitchen. That’s where a homework chart comes in!

Most kids have a hard time finding the energy and motivation to get homework done. Then, the parent has to step in to ensure that the work actually gets done before the next school day. But with a homework chart, you can keep everything on track and actually improve motivation.

Better yet, you may never have to ask them to do their homework again!

Whether you’re just trying to get organized, looking for a solution to help a struggling child, or want to start off the school year strong, creating your own homework chart will kickstart a great education.

Note: You can download a printable PDF homework tracker chart to try to use with your kids here   (click the link, enter your name and email and it’ll be sent to you in a few minutes.)

Why do kids struggle with homework.

You’ve probably heard it time and time again: that audible groan your kids make when you say it’s homework time. But how exactly did homework become the least favorite activity of every kid’s day?

• Lack of motivation. Oftentimes, kids don’t understand why they need to continue to do more homework after a full day at school. They want all remaining hours of the day to be dedicated to relaxation and fun.
• Lack of a good work environment. If a child doesn’t have a great place to do homework, they’re less likely to do it. Working from the couch, bed, or messy dining room table is going to have the same effect as a desk.
• Time management. Even adults struggle with keeping up with everything on their to-do lists. Kids are still learning how to fit everything in and need a hand figuring out their personal schedules.
• Too many distractions. The dog squeaks its ball, Mom does the dishes, the sister watches TV, and Dad mows the lawn. How is a kid supposed to get anything done!?
• Mood swings. Kids have many big emotions and often don’t know how to handle them. When they don’t want to do homework, the mood just worsens until getting any homework done is completely off the table.

How can a homework chart help?

A homework chart may not fix all of the issues above, but it certainly helps quite a few of them! Time management is the most obvious fix as parents and kids can map out everything they need to get done and organize it over the course of the week.

Motivation may play the biggest factor in not wanting to do homework . Adding a homework chart allows them to visualize their goals for the day and week. When kids have a goal, they’re much more likely to resist the distractions and temptations that can arise during homework time.

When kids get involved in making their homework chart, it helps them assume more responsibility and control over their schedule. Kids really appreciate it when they feel heard and like to have input on how they spend their day. Yes, they need to do homework, but a chart allows them to fill in part of their day’s activities.

How to make a homework chart

Making a homework chart is going to look different for every child depending on their needs, age, and schedule. Below are some of the best tips to keep in mind when making a homework chart with your child.

Choose your planner type

The first step you will want to take is deciding which type of planner will work best for your kids. You can break up the homework chart by month, week, or daily. Young kids will have less homework and might only need a monthly chart. However, older kids may even need a daily homework chart where they can keep track of time.

If you’re unsure, weekly is the best place to start! It works well for every age group and allows you to set priorities and get organized for the week ahead.

A homework chart with subjects included is also another great option. In this case, you list out the days of the week on top as well as all the subjects down the side. This allows you to have room every day for each subject.

For the little ones, you can even make a giant visual schedule to hand on the wall. In this case, their day will probably look exactly the same every day. The visual schedule allows them to know what tasks to get done in the day amongst all the playing, napping, and eating!

Ask for their input

Kids are much more likely to get work done if they feel like it was their idea. So let it be their idea!

Make the homework chart together. At first, you may need to help guide them and teach them how to prioritize tasks. Eventually, they will become so good at it that you might not even need to help!

Letting them self-regulate their schedule and gain a little bit of independence will make them feel much more motivated and even accomplished.

Also ask them when they would like to do their homework, especially if you’re including times in their homework chart. They might have a preference. Some may want to do it right after school to get it over with while others would prefer dinner after they’ve eaten and had a break.

Note upcoming tasks

Homework charts try to avoid procrastination. In a homework chart, you will want to include immediate and regular homework. But, you also want to plan ahead for upcoming tasks and larger assignments. Learning to juggle multiple assignments with different due dates is a highly valuable skill for kids to learn as they get older.

Kids can learn how to prioritize their work. What needs to get done right now? What can I do to get ahead for the future? If I don’t have work due tomorrow, what can I work on instead?

Try to include a notes section on your homework chart so that you can list all your upcoming tasks. The last thing you want to happen is a mad rush over a sudden due date! Then both you and your child will be up past midnight gluing a solar system diorama together.

Make the homework chart visible

Place the homework chart in a place that makes it easy for everyone in the house to see it. Yes, everyone ! This can help keep the distractions to a minimum.

If everyone in the house knows when it’s homework time, then they know not to bug the working kid with other tasks or conversations.

Keep noise and distractions to a minimum during these hours. The child may not even be reachable during this time!

This also allows you to keep track of their work and make sure they are sticking to the schedule. You can help keep them accountable or make adjustments when necessary.

Offer rewards

A reward incentive may be the answer for kids who really struggle to get their homework done despite how often you remind them. Allow them to cross off the tasks in their homework chart or the day itself to show that they got everything done. If they get everything done in a week (or day, month, whatever you decide), then they can get a reward.

You know what kind of reward would work best for your kids. It could be getting their allowance, a sticker as a reward, their favorite snack, or an end-of-the-week activity such as a movie night.

Personalize it

To keep your kids engaged with their homework chart, ask them to personalize it! When making the homework chart, bring out all the craft supplies.

Use fun paper, stationery, stickers, pencil crayons, and more to customize the chart.

The fun colors can also help to keep the homework chart more organized. Use different colored inks for different subjects and tasks.

When you make a homework chart with your kids, ask them to set a goal for the week. Kids need to have personal meaning with their homework. If they view it as an important part of their day and something with purpose, they are much more likely to get it done.

When setting a goal, include one short-term one for the week. It can be studying for an upcoming math test , getting the first part of a project done, finishing a book, etc. Rather than just relying on individual tasks, they can see how a little bit of work a day helps accomplish something larger.

In addition to a short-term goal, they should have a long-term goal. How is their homework helping them reach their personal goals? Will homework improve their grades for college? Will learning French allow them to travel and spend time in France one day?

Setting a goal can help to enhance this responsibility and motivation. Their homework will become more interesting and relevant to them and they will have more initiative to do it on their own.

Taylor Swift and 'Tortured Poets' smash the Spotify album streaming record

Streaming giant Spotify announced Saturday that the newest album from megastar Taylor Swift , The Tortured Poets Department , has smashed previous records: It's the first album in Spotify's history to have more than 300 million streams in a single day.

Tortured Poets reached that record on its release day last Friday. In the same fell swoop, Swift also became the most-streamed artist within a single day ever on Spotify — and the album's first track, "Fortnight," which also features Post Malone as a vocalist, became Spotify's most-streamed song in a single day. (By Monday morning, "Fortnight" had garnered nearly 40 million streams on its own.)

Taylor Swift's 'Tortured Poets' is written in blood

Swift's sprawling , autobiographical 11th album was initially released as 16 songs at midnight on Friday. Within two hours, however, Swift dropped 15 additional tracks as "The Anthology," writing on Instagram : "It's a 2am surprise: The Tortured Poets Department is a secret DOUBLE album."

Swift beat her own single-day album streaming records with Tortured Poets and now holds all three top spots for this record: Her newest project has only surpassed her 2022 album, Midnights , and 1989 (Taylor's Version) , released in 2023.
