ð Establish a quiet, comfortable, well-lighted study area at home. Keep this area clean and organized.
ð Plan to devote 10 minutes per grade level each evening (Monday through Thursday and one night on the weekend) to study or complete homework.
For example, a 7th grader would need approximately 70 minutes (10 minutes X 7 = 70 minutes) set aside for homework/studying each evening.
ð Take regular study breaks (no longer than 10 minutes).
ð Review the notes taken in classes each day. It may help to re-write the notes. This will help with learning and understanding the material.
ð If difficulty is experienced on homework, ask a parent, peer, or teacher (the following school day) for assistance.
