SEND homework and SEND practice
SEND homework and SEND practice on Homework Magic help UK children with special educational needs and disabilities practise school work with calmer reading tools. Turn on dyslexia-friendly text, listen with Read to me, and let teachers assign homework to the pupils who need it.
SEN homework help built into practice
SEND homework is still school homework. The difference is presentation and pacing. Homework Magic keeps questions clear and short, then adds reading support so pupils can focus on the Maths, English or Science idea instead of fighting the page.
Text size and spacing
Choose larger text and wider letter spacing so words are easier to separate.
Cream paper
Reduce harsh white glare with a soft cream background during practice.
Underlined links
Make clickable links obvious without relying on colour alone.
Read to me
Listen to a question, then choose an answer. Speed can be slowed for comfort.
Targeted homework
Teachers can assign different homework to chosen students in the same class.
How to try it: open the learning space, look for the Reading support control, and turn on the options that help your child. Settings are saved on that device.
Who this SEND homework help is for
- Children who need dyslexia homework help with clearer fonts, spacing and listening support.
- Pupils who find white pages tiring and prefer cream paper or larger text.
- Families looking for calm SEN homework help that still follows UK year-group practice.
- Teachers who want accessible homework and can target work to individual SEND pupils.
- Learners preparing for 11+ who may also need reading support during practice.
Homework Magic does not replace specialist teaching, an EHCP, or school access arrangements. It is a practice tool that removes avoidable reading barriers while children work through National Curriculum-style questions.
A calm SEND homework routine
- Choose a short activity for the child’s Year group and subject.
- Turn on Reading support before the first question.
- Use Read to me for one question at a time, then choose or type an answer.
- Keep sessions short. Celebrate effort and return to tricky ideas another day.
Start with everyday practice on KS1 homework, KS2 homework or KS3 homework. For selective-school preparation, reading support is also available in 11+ practice. Families preparing for entrance tests can also read our guide to 11+ SEN access arrangements.
Teachers: homework for chosen SEND pupils
When one child needs a different set of questions, teachers can assign homework to specific students instead of the whole class. That supports personalised SEN homework without creating a separate paper pack for every lesson.
See teacher class homework tools to create a class, share a join code, and assign work with due dates.
