About this ebook
The term "study skills" is generally an umbrella for many behaviors students can develop that help to make them proficient at their studies.
Time management skills, comprehension strategies, listening skills, memory techniques and test taking skills are several areas that contribute to success in school. This ebook takes a look at each of those areas and provides concrete, hands-on ways for students to develop and improve in each one - and be a better student in the process.
In addition, one complete chapter is devoted to teaching report writing - step by step from brainstorming an idea to the finished product. Also included are over 15 of my best classroom-tested learning games and activities for review and developing study skills.
