![]() The wish to make it fun and to involve the parents are two crucial factors in favour of this series. Teachers are dissatisfied with current arrangements and regard homework as an extra problem in their lives which they have to set but find it hard to engage with process in a positive manner. ![]() I firmly believe that the rationale for this book is absolutely spot on. I think that the way the series is presented it is absolutely ideal for the younger children to get a feel for homework in a fun, non-pressurised way, with the help of adults and especially as it is based on practical activities. I think this series would be very helpful to teachers of younger children who may not think of giving homework because it involves ‘writing’. It is a definite practice with all schools and particularly with KS2. There has been a lot of interest in the pros and cons of homework for primary schools but I think that hardly any school would say that they don’t set any. This proposal comes at a very good time as the issue of homework seems to have entered the national arena. I am convinced that there is a very big market out there for interesting ways to approach homework and if approached creatively, as this series of books and mine do, then the benefits to children, families and schools can be huge.
