Holiday Homework Department of English -Grade One

Academic Year 2016- 2017

The Importance of Homework

Homework is not simply busy-work assigned to children to keep them occupied at

home. Homework assignments and studying serve several educational needs that

are essential to receiving a complete education. They provide an opportunity for

children to develop self-discipline, study habits, and time management skills.

Children can set homework goals and enjoy a feeling of accomplishment when the

goals are met. Children learn how to be independent and responsible. They

practice taking initiative by beginning projects on their own and studying when

necessary. Homework also closes the gap between school and home. Learning

should happen at home as well as in school.

Please practice reading, writing, listening and speaking the following topics

below. Please use the CD attached at the back of the book. Online resources can

be used for extra practice.
