  4. How to Help Your Child Help Themselves! • Studying is a way for your child to better remember the material taught in school. • The best way for a child to study is by actively doing something! • If their body is moving in some way, their brain is actively moving too! • They can create something, say something, or a combination of the two! • You can have them teach the tested material to you, their pet, their siblings, or even their friends!

  5. Creating Study Materials Your child can make several types of materials at home to study with that are much more exciting than just reading! Use active learning strategies—This is much more effective! • Make a crossword puzzle • Flashcards for vocabulary or concepts • Write a study guide for a friend • Make up your own quiz • Play Pictionary with vocabulary • Draw and explain charts and diagrams The creation of the materials is just as important as the process of reviewing it!

Don’t CRAM!- Practice a bit at a time over several days. • Have them write all assignments in a planner and check the planner. • Help your child break big projects into smaller ones. • A big research project will seem less overwhelming and will be less likely to be left until the last minute if it’s done in manageable chunks, each with its own deadline.
