GREAT HOMEWORK AND STUDY SKILLS

An ex-teacher and professional tutor leads a discussion of how students can become effective self-learners. Illustrating real-world situations that distract students from effective studying, a framing story bookends individually selectable "tutoring sessions" that lay out tips and techniques for improving time-management and note-taking skills, active listening, reading comprehension, and memorization. Another session outlines how a parent’s involvement contributes to student success, while short supplemental lessons reiterate or further flesh out the program’s most important points. Grades 7–12.
