Super Study Skills: The Ultimate Guide to Tests and Studying (Scholastic Guides)

Rating:
Summary: For students who want better grades, a good book
Review: I have now reviewed 10 study skills books for middle and upper school students. This is one of the best.

Rozakis writes for the young student, middle or upper school, and gives immediate and practical suggestions about how to study "smart," (e.g., set goals, get organized, set up a study center, improving one's memory); reading for success; preparing for a test; test-taking skills; and mastering specific kinds of tests (T/F, multiple-choice, etc.). Rozakis has no specific section for studying math, but her emphasis on organization, preparing, rehearsing, and so forth, can be transferred easily.

Teachers can use this for a class-wide book in study skills.

For older students (late high school and college), you may want to see Study power: Study skills to improve your learning and your grades, by William R. Luckie and Wood Smethurst, which I found to be geared quite well for that age group.

Rozakis' book is far better than the one offered by Teacher Created Materials (Middle School Study Skills). It also is better than Judith Dodge's The Study Skills Handbook (Grades 4-8), and Margaret Nuzum's Study Skills that Stick (with the exception that Nuzum specifically mentions math study skills).

I hope this helps.

Summary: Excellent
Review: This book and another book that I read called, SURVEY OF 300 A+ STUDENTS, by Kenneth Green, are the two best books on study skills that I have seen (and I have read many).

Review: This is a fantastic book on study skills that will help all students reach their school goals. In here you'll find tips to be more organized, test-taking strategies, how to study for tests, reading hints and strageties, how to calm down if you're nervous about a test, and so much more!
