Teaching Your Child to StudyOne of the most difficult task for a parent can be teaching their child how to study. Most children stop at completing homework and do not realize there is a difference between completing homework and studying. It is great that homework is completed, however good grades and most importantly, great understanding, comes with studying to solidify information learned in the mind to be accessed at a later time. Here are a few tips for success to pass along to your young scholars:
- Read your notes taken from today's classes. If the teacher did not provide a lecture, go back through the text and create your own notes highlighting the most important issues covered in class.
- Re-read the highlighted section of your text book.
- Repeat this step and each day go back and study the previous day notes.
By the time test time roles around, there is very little to try to remember because you have continued to study the text everyday and it will be easy to recall during test time. A special note: start saving those great notes you take in history class and each year add your new notes. History is a building block subject, each year you build upon the previous learned material. Your notes can become an excellent resource when its time to start writing those term papers.
Best wishes for success!
