  • 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.
