Ask your child when they have a test. When they
do, study with them. Show them how you study. As a teacher, to
help my students study, I give them an in class pre-test which
we correct in class. As a parent or educator here are some
studying strategies that you can use.
1) Make flash cards for
your kids. People in general are very visual and tend to
remember things that they see over and over without realizing
it.
2) Create a test for your
child, correct it and then go over it with them.
3) If there is a lot of
material to cover, space out the studying over the course of
several days. It’s better to do a little bit everyday than
trying to cram in everything at once. Don't forget to review
what you did the day before, while studying new material.
4) Study with your child.
Your presence will help to motivate and show them that you take
interest in their academics.
5) If your child gets
stuck on something have them take out their textbook and see
what was done in the textbook.
6) Ask your child's
teacher what your child should focus on.
The best plan to have
when studying is a method that helps your child retain
information. If your child does not have a study plan create one
with them today. |
