Study tips for kids and parents.

Here 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. Make a note and ask someone to explain it to you if you don't understand something


2. Ace your homework.-Use a planner to enter homework as soon as it's assigned. Pick 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 - take a five minute breater to exercise and refocus.


Use Oxford's SQRCRC method to study:

Survey introductions, heading and summaries for main idea.

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.


PARENTS;

1. Help your child prepare a study schedule, and review it together every morning.


2. Create a special work enviroment that courages best effort and makes it easier for your child to get into study mode.


3. Get involved. Your interest show them that school is important
