Effective Study and Learning is part of the How to Help series of
books exploring issues commonly faced by children and young people at
home and at school. Effective Study and Learning offers a complete
introduction to these critical yet frequently overlooked topics. Many
young people exert considerable effort in 'studying' but still come away
disappointed with the results, particularly when faced with traditional
written exams. All too often, they fail to fulfil their potential not
because of a lack of hard work, but because they have not mastered the
study and learning techniques that are fundamental to success in
education and eventually in the workplace. Highlighting why
self-knowledge and understanding one's own learning style and
preferences are critical to success, Gavin Reid and Jennie Guise
consider the skills and strategies required for effective study and
successful learning--and how parents, carers, teachers, and schools can
help.
