Whether a student possesses effective learning and study strategies makes the difference between their academic success and discouraging failure. The Parents' Guide to Studying and Learning is an easy-to-use companion for parents to help their students truly learn and get better grades. For more than 40 years, Professor Saundra Yancy McGuire has worked to improve college students' study skills and helped professors adopt evidence-based strategies for improving their students' learning and motivation. Dr. McGuire, who is a nationally recognized chemistry professor and learning strategies expert, authored the widely acclaimed college-level books Teach Students How to Learn and Teach Yourself How to Learn. Dr. McGuire's approach is based on research and extensive experience that has convinced her that everyone can succeed academically. And now she is turning her attention to help busy parents of high school students. As an educator and a parent, she knows first-hand the challenges of getting teens motivated and focused on completing homework or preparing for exams. The Parents' Guide to Studying and Learning provides everything a parent needs to see positive changes in their students' performance, including examples, scripts, and worksheets to share with their students. The Parents' Guide to Studying and Learning is designed for parents who need to step-in step in to help their students learn the study skills to master any subject. And The Parents Guide to Studying and Learning is a perfect tool for home-schooling parents to supplement their subject matter curricula.

Here's the help you need to more effectively help your child succeed in school. What makes this book different? It's coordinated with the book your child uses. This book has companion books for students (one for elementary students and one for older students). The parent's guide works in parallel with the student book so you can support your child in being a better student. They're all filled with easy-to-use lists, helpful tips, examples, practical suggestions, and enough ideas to last through the years. And, it's written by a teacher who later wrote textbooks and other classroom materials. You get the help you need from an insider in both worlds.You'll find so many ideas (the writer has been at this for over 40 years) that you'll be able to pick out what works best for you now and add new ideas as you go through the school years.Many students are never taught how to learn. Many don't know their learning style (or how to use it). And how often are parents taught effective strategies for helping with homework, what to look for on open house night, and how to get the most out of meetings with teachers? You'll be a step ahead when you put the ideas from this book into practice.Here are some of the things you'll find in this book:1. You'll get lots of help for homework time, methods and questions you can use, and help with long-term projects. You'll see how to use concept maps, how to get the most out of textbooks, and how to help your child read more effectively and write more clearly.2. You'll also find ways to more effectively help your child prepare for (and take) tests. We'll look at how to deal with test anxiety (and failure) and some secrets about test questions your child's teacher may not know. (You and your older child will get the tools you need to ace an organic chemistry quiz when you know nothing about the subject!)3. Need help organizing? We'll look at how to organize time, space, stuff, and ideas, how to set up and use calendars, and how to make the morning rush a bit easier. You'll even see tips for buying (and using) a backpack (and why you need a brightly colored folder in it).4. Does your child get the most from class? You'll see ideas for listening better, picking up on the teacher's hints and clues about what's important, even where to sit.5. We also go beyond the school with ideas on using community resources and travel for learning. We talk about the skills needed for life-long learning, and how to help your child develop these skills.Other books in this series are written for teachers and tutors. If you hire a tutor, this book will help make the time you're paying for more effective.

A Parent’s Guide to The Science of Learning answers the sort of questions that every parent wants to know but doesn’t know where to find the answers. This includes the small, everyday questions through to the big, life-changing ones. Some of the questions answered in this book include: How much sleep does your child need? Should I actually help them with their homework? Why does my child forget what they have just learnt? How much screen time is too much? What can I do to help them do better at school? Is it really that important that we all eat meals together? How can I help my child learn to better manage their emotions? How can I encourage them to be a better independent learner? A hugely accessible resource, this unique book will provide parents with the knowledge they need to best support their children’s learning and development.
