HM Learning and Study Skills Program

The hm Learning and Study Skills Program: Level II was designed to provide an introduction to learning and study skills for 8th, 9th, and 10th grade students through a series of activity-oriented units. It is structured on the assumption that an activity-oriented lesson is the most effective instructional strategy for the teaching of study skills: more succinctly, that ';learning by doing' is the best way ';study smart'.Learning and study skills are important for learning. They are methods and ways of doing things, that help make learning easier. Understanding how to study can also facilitate learning by assisting students as they complete assignments correctly and efficiently during a specified period of time. Just like any other skill, knowing how to learn and study proficiently must be learned and practiced over time. This Program has been designed to help students learn more efficiently and effectively. Remember, learning and study skills are not substitutes for hard work. But, by following the suggestions within this workbook, students should be able to use their time and energy more efficiently.
