Study and Test-taking Skills

I was thinking about how I always seem to drift during review week and to some extent during exam week. It occurred to me that I could use those weeks as a sort of practicum to teach some study skills. I think this is one thing that Sean is having trouble with in school, partly because of the type of memory he has but also because he never really got much guidance in this from me.

Here are a few links I found on study skills for middle schoolers-through college.

• Launch Pad for Success
• Study Guides and Strategies
• How-To-Study
• Study Skills Guide for Students
• Study Skills
• Teaching Study Skills
• Study Skills Lessons for Middle School
• Study Skills Unit
• Study Tips
• Ideas for Review
• How to Study for Tests

I think perhaps I'll choose a couple of ideas to focus on during each term's end and thus use the reviewing as a sort of practicum.

Here are a few more:

• Study Skills Worksheets.
• Various link pages.
• Notetaking and more
• Study Skills Portfolio
