0 responses 0 comments With summer school now in session and the fall semester just around the corner, students and their parents can prepare now to get the edge they need to earn the best grades possible. In reality, the challenge is that students, for the most part, don’t have the study skills they need in order to succeed in the classroom. Most schools teach subjects, but not how to study those subjects. Additionally, most parents don’t think to teach their children how to study and those that do aren’t quite sure where to start.
"Having good study habits is a skill that is learned," explains Cari Diaz of Club Z! Tutoring, an education company with locations across the nation. "Children aren’t born knowing how to study anymore than they are born knowing how to read. They need to be taught the most effective way to study in order to excel."
Here are several studying tips from Club Z!:
• Choose an ideal study location in the house that offers plenty of space for books, has good lighting and is free from distractions, such as the television.
• Keep school materials organized in a planner and use a calendar to mark important exams and project due dates.
• Make sure the child is well prepared with all the necessary resources they need, such as pencils, paper and a dictionary.
• Take breaks when frustrated. As much as parents may want to do the work for them, it’s better if students complete the work on their own.
The Club Z! study skills program focuses on the most important issues when it comes to improving a child’s education. They work independently with children to teach them skills in organization, time management, classroom participation, note-taking, memorization and comprehension. They also help children to identify their preferred learning style so they can use that information to get the most out of their study time.
