Building Good Study Skills
K - 5
 
   1.  Set a regular study time in a quiet, comfortable place
      where your child won't have distractions.

 2.   Encourage daily study, even if there's no homework.
      Reading and reviewing lessons will get your child in the
      habit of studying every day.

 3.  Make sure your child keeps track of assignments and
      has all the study tools needed for homework.

 4.  Allow study breaks every 20 minutes or so, and offer
      nutritious snacks.

 5.  Help your child break large tasks into several smaller
      ones to study more efficiently.

 6.  Have your child set goals before each assignment and
      organize study priorities to reach them.

 7.  Teach your child the value of being organized and
      keeping homework together.

 8.  Use study aids, such as quizzes, flash cards, and
      reading out loud to you.

 9.  Let your child know it's OK to ask teachers for
      help and that you're available, too.

10.  Consider having your child study with a partner if
      it helps both of them do better.

Remember- Always reward your child's efforts to
build study skills.  Praise goes a long way!
