School Power
Study Skill
Strategies for Succeeding in School
Revised and Updated Edition
by Jeanne Shay Schumm, Ph.D.
Originally published in 1992, this popular handbook is a lively, inviting introduction to
the basic study skills all students need to succeed in school. Step-by-step instructions,
practical advice, and insider tips from
real students cover every conceivable topic, from how to get organized and create a study
space to how to take notes, write papers, prepare speeches, follow directions, set goals,
handle long-range assignments, and much more. Kids and teens learn proven
ways to be better readers, spellers, and writers, master new vocabulary, remember what
they study, prepare for tests, and conquer test anxiety—and those are just for
starters.
The revised and updated edition features new sections on the benefits of using computers,
the Internet, and email to help with school
projects and research. The exciting graphics and straight-talk style welcome kids in and
hold their attention. This is a book students will turn to often for advice, encouragement, and specific strategies
to make school easier, more manageable—maybe even more fun.
Includes 21 reproducible handout masters.
For ages 11 & up.
