  2. What are study skills? • Different abilities that can be developed in order to improve a student’s capacity to learn

  3. Step One: Set up a Study Center • Sit at a desk, table, or in a comfortable chair • Good light • Keep supplies and textbooks in the study center • Remove distracting items from the study area • Timer/Clock • Study at the same time each day

  4. Step Two: Find your learning style • Three types of learners • Visual/Seeing • Auditory/Hearing • Kinesthetic/Doing

  5. Step Three: Study • It is important to study using strategies that fit you best as a learner.

  6. Visual/Seeing Learners • Highlight or underline the main ideas. • Use outlining or mapping to help make sense of reading assignments. • Do something you can see: draw pictures, make time lines, copy your notes. • Write down your assignments in one place(agenda).

  7. Auditory/Hearing Learners • Read difficult passages aloud instead of silently. • Use music to help you learn. • Have someone quiz you or study with a friend and go over the information aloud. • Study in a quiet place with no outside distractions.

  8. Kinesthetic/Doing Learners • When studying vocabulary words, rewrite the word several times. • Teach the information you learn to someone else by drawing the concepts. • Have someone talk through the information with you while you do something active. • When you sit to study, get up frequently and take breaks.

  9. Summary Bookmark • To help you remember your assigned reading, whether for an AR book or class reading. Use this bookmark to help you sum up the main ideas and events in each chapter.

  10. Active Reading with RCRC • Read the paragraph. • Cover the paragraph. • Recite the topic and important details. • Check your recall by looking back at the paragraph in the text.

  11. Trifold • Fold a sheet of paper in thirds the long way • Copy the vocabulary word in the first column • Definition of the word in the middle column • Fold the first column the other way and write the word by only looking at the definition • First and third columns should match

  12. Vocabulary Flashcards • A definition written in your own words • A picture that reminds you of the definition • A meaningful sentence • Use them every day

  13. Is-Is-Not-Not • On the front, write the word • On the back, write the definition • Make two columns • In the left column, write three synonyms • In the right column, write three antonyms

  14. The Yellow Page • On the left, write the concept/big idea and then define it or write out the formula. • On the right, work out a sample problem.

  15. The Frayer Model • A four square visual • Concept in the middle • Characteristics and non-characteristics in the upper squares • Examples and non-examples in the lower squares

  16. Ways to Find Assignments • Agenda • Powerschool • Teacher web pages • www.bryan.k12.ga.us/rhms
