Study Tip of the day:

When teaching your child/student spelling, break up the words into syllables.

For example:

"warrior" becomes war-rior.

"peaceful" becomes peace-ful.

Explain the meaning of a word. Use pictures where applicable.
When the child has understood it, memorisation becomes easier.

To yield positive results, students must combine consistent habits with effective study strategies. Common methods include tailoring study materials to individual learning styles, keeping distractions away, having a comprehensive set of notes and planning a fixed study schedule. Additionally, students can make the most of their time by using assessment books.      How to select the correct assessment books 📚      Understand your child’s needs: Instead of buying overly ...
