use a lot of reinforcement so that he begins to like it. tell him that wen he does say his homework he will get some icecream or something else he likes, maybe even an acitivty. this way he will start doing the homework looking forward to the reward.
As he starts doing his school work, etc. (whatever u reinforce him for), you can slowwwwwwwwwwwly fade away that reinforcement used for getting him to do this. this way while anticipating the reward, he develops a habit of doing school related work.
U should also make sure these things are MADE interesting for him, by using things he likes. for eg. if he likes toy cars, use them to teach concepts like addition or adjectives...etc etc... think of neway u can, to use his likes and strengths. but dont overdo it. :)
hope this helps...
