Since school time is fast approaching.. and almost everyone with Kids going to school are all in the mall shopping for their school things.. bag, pens, paper and cute lunch boxes.. hay, i'm missing old school....
here are some tips... from Readers Digest.
With school back in session, here are tips from Oxford Learning to get your kids through school and dreaded exams.
Kids
1. Listen and hear. Pay attention in class. Jot notes on the main ideas. Don’t understand something? Make a note and ask someone to explain it to you.
2. Ace your homework. Use a planner to enter homework as soon as it’s assigned. Pick a comfortable place to do homework and study.
3. Study effectively. Divide material into units and assign each unit a day. Give yourself a three-day break before the test. Study in short bursts – 15 minutes at a time – then take a five-minute breather to exercise and refocus.
Use Oxford’s SQRCRC method to study:
Survey introductions, headings and summaries for main ideas.
Question: “What do I hope to learn by reading this?”
Read for details.
Cover the work.
Recite what you’ve just read.
Check how well you have done.
Parents1. Help your child prepare a study schedule, and review it together every morning.
2. Create a special work environment that encourages best efforts and makes it easier for your child to get into study mode.
3. Get involved. Your interest shows them that school is important.
