The lower and middle grade elementary school students are usually given homework for their primary language course that are dry in content, predictable in form and less than interesting in evaluation. Therefore students don't enjoy the process of getting them done. The homework tends to be lack of communication and interaction between students and teachers, less relevant to students real life and often programmed and sampled. They slowly become a heavy burden on students and their parents and something teachers are not worthy of doing. Obviously, the shortcomings of such homework are not suited to the status of students and are becoming an obstacle of students'growth and development.This paper surveyed research works done in this area at all times and from all over the world and explored the classification and design strategy of homework theoretically. In the meantime, questionnaires are given to student, parents and teachers to understand the current status of homework and potential problems. Based on that and the experiences in practice some relatively effective homework categories and homework design strategies are determined based on students'characteristics. After a period of time in practice, the second round of questionnaires are circulated again to understand view of the students and parents about the adjusted homework.The study found that there are many types of homework for the lower and middle grade elementary school students' primary language course. They can be broadly classified into the "common homework" and "personalized homework" categories. Common homework is designed based on the course requirements that students must master. This paper will study effective common homework categories and design strategies from the perspectives of completion time frame of the homework and the types of the homework. Personalized homework is designed based on students' characteristics for the goal of either their improvement or catching-up. This paper will study effective personalized homework categories and design strategies from the perspectives of completion time frame of the homework and the types of the homework. Finally, this paper studies the effective homework evaluation to promote the effective completion of homework by students.In this paper, the classification of homework into common and personalized ones, the categories of both common homework and personalized homework, effective design strategies of homework are the result of empirical testing and verification. And it was recognized by the students and parents in the second round of questionnaires as well.
