Study Tips
By Ms. Carter
 Beat procrastination! Teach your
child, by example, not to put off
tasks.
 Instead of denying your child
privileges for not studying, offer
them rewards or incentives for
getting his schoolwork done.
 Get organized! Ensure that your
grade-schooler has separate
sections in her notebook for notes,
homework, and graded materials
for each class.
 Make sure they’re taking notes in
class — not only for information,
but because it will help them see
how much time their teacher
spends on a subject area.
 After class or in the evenings,
encourage your child to write a
review of key ideas from each class.

reader who outlines and annotates
her textbooks. If they are not
allowed to write in their books,
have them keep these notes in a
special notebook.
 Encourage your child to read
through textbook sections
before they're reviewed in class.
 When studying for a test, suggest
that your child arranges class and
reading notes chronologically to
ensure she's studying the
appropriate material.
 Help your child create "fact sheets"
of key ideas and terms scattered
randomly on a page. If they can
recall details in random order,
they're stored in their brain.
 A combination of memorization
and concept comprehension will
yield the longest-lasting and most
