Resolving Struggling Readers' Homework Difficulties: A Social Cognitive Perspective
Margolis, Howard; Mccabe, Patrick
Reading Psychology an international quarterly, v25 n4 p225-260 Oct 2004
Struggling readers often fail to complete homework or complete it in a slipshod, haphazard fashion. Often, this adversely affects grades, erodes motivation for academics, and causes conflict between readers, parents, and school personnel. To help teachers and educational consultants (e.g., reading specialists, school psychologists) help struggling readers improve their homework submission rates and improve the quality of their homework, this article discusses reasons for homework problems and suggests how teachers and educational consultants can apply social cognitive theory to resolve homework problems.
