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 | Hassle-Free Homework by Faith Clark, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
