Study Tips

When your child is studying for a test here are some tips to help them do their best:

- Provide a quiet environment, free from any distractions (T.V., music, siblings...)

- Have all materials you need in front of you

- Create songs, chants, or mnemonics (ex. H.O.M.E.S.- to remember the Great Lakes)

- Make it a game

- Allow plenty of time for your child to study, especially over a few days. Don't cram all your studying into the night before.

- Relax, remember that studying should be free of pressure.
