Study Skills Tip of the Week

Every week, I will include a helpful study skills tip for parents and students to help make the middle years a little less trying. 

Now that school is back in session it is time to start either developing or, hopefully remembering, good study habits. A consistent study time is important. Most kids need a break from school after they get home. Setting up a homework time that allows that short break but has your child getting to bed a t a good hour can be difficult with the busy lives we all lead. Remember that their job right now is to be a student and the benefits of good study habits developed in Middle School are clearly shown to pay off later in life! Provide a block of time that starts at the same time every day (or as near to that as possible.). If the time is not needed for homework, outside reading or review should fill up the rest of the time.
