When doing this becomes a habit you have made a lot of valuable progress, because it is then easier to make yourself go through your study routine. Success is habit forming. Success, like anything else, can become a habit and when it does, it will be as difficult as any other habit to break. Knowing what the learning skills are and how to use them is of no avail. You must practice them over and over again until you know what to do instinctively.
Nothing is stronger than habit.
Establish routines for your youngsters - a time to check homework, a time to mark calendars, a time to get equipment ready for the school day, a time to do checklists, a time to do desk checks, a time to do notebook checks, procedures for reading textbooks, etc. Follow these routines on a consistent and regular basis. Reward children appropriately for following these routines. Provide personal help or peer assistance to those youngsters having difficulty establishing study habits. Provide time and practice activities to help students to habituate study skills.
