Study skills help students study more effectively.
Materials organization makes sure the student will have the supplies that are needed. The checklist could be placed inside a clear, plastic paper protector sleeve, which could be kept at the front of the notebook. If possible, it is good to have a set aside place and time for homework. A specific study area lets the student know that the family values learning and that it is so important that a particular location is reserved for it. The student needs a place to save and keep old tests, quizzes, notes and handouts that might be useful when a later test or final exam comes along.
