The typical adult wants to correct everything he or she sees in a child´s composition. Please remember that you want your child to make progress over many years of education. Do not expect perfection in the second grade. Your role as a homework tutor can be extremely beneficial if you follow these powerful guidelines:

1. Bring the purpose of the composition into focus.
2. Ask your child to clarify those statements that are confusing or opaque.
3. Lead your child to self-correct punctuation, grammar, and spelling by circling errors and writing the correction.

Through these techniques you will be able to have helpful, even friendly, conversations with your children over the compositions that they produce throughout their school years.
