Wisdom Lane Guidance Department: Study Skills

As you already know, middle school can be challenging and hard work. By developing good study habits, you could have a better school year. These tips are important in helping you become a happy and successful student.

  • Utilize your agenda book daily for each class
  • Get a study buddy- get the phone number of a student in your class in case you have a question about an assignment or if you are absent
  • List all homework assignments in a single notebook or a notepad (do not combine them with your class notes)
  • Establish a regular time to do homework
  • Pick a place to work that is quiet, has good light, enough space, is a comfortable temperature, and is equipped with a stapler, pens, pencils, paper, and a computer
  • Remove all distractions. Turn off the television, computer games, loud music, and do not take social phone calls
  • Start with an easy, interesting aspect of your assignment
  • Reward yourself with television or other things you like to do after your studying has been completed
