The best way to learn something well is to teach it to someone else.

Call a study buddy and teach the concept. Better yet, call a grandparent! Grandparents love to hear from you AND you study by explaining what you're learning, why it's important, how it's related to something else, and how to do it!

"Be sure to study for the test on Friday," one of your child's teachers is certain to say some day soon.

Does your child know how?

While many teachers spend some class time teaching study skills, students often need more guidance than they get in the classroom. In middle school, there's more homework, it becomes more difficult and it requires analytical skills your child may not have developed yet.

The study skills your child needs to do well on her test on Friday are the same ones she will need to succeed in high school and college: getting organized, taking good notes and studying effectively.

As your child moves toward independence, she's less likely to ask for your advice. She will need to go through some trial and error to come up with the strategies most compatible with her learning style. And you'll want to encourage her to take responsibility for her own school work. You can help her by monitoring homework, asking questions and helping her evaluate what works for her - and what doesn't.

Helping your child get organized

Getting organized is crucial for your child, says Linda Winburn, a veteran South Carolina middle school teacher who became the state's 2005 Teacher of the Year. "And the key is parent involvement."

Some tips to help your child get organized

Provide a place to study.

It doesn't have to be a desk, says Winburn. "A kitchen counter is a great place, especially if mom's in the kitchen cooking."

The desk or table surface should be big enough so that your student can spread out papers and books. Make sure essential supplies such as pens, paper and calculator are close by. Have good lighting and a sturdy chair that's the right height available. Want more? Check out 8 secrets for the best study spot ever.

Help your child develop a system to keep track of important papers.

If your child tends to forget to turn in homework or can't quite keep track of how he's doing in a class, it might help to get him a binder with a folder in the front for completed work ready to be turned in and a folder in the back for papers returned by the teacher.

"For me, staying organized meant creating a system - any system - and sticking to it," says Gabriela Kipnis, now a student at the University of Pennsylvania. "I had fun color-coding, organizing and using dividers, but the truth is, all that mattered was that there was a method that I stuck with."

Make sure your child has - and uses - a planner to keep track of assignments.

Help your child get in the habit of writing down each daily assignment in each subject and checking it off when it's complete. Some schools provide these to students, and if not, you might want to work with your PTA or parent organization to provide planners at your school.

Encourage your child to estimate how long each assignment will take.

He can then plan a realistic schedule, building in study breaks after subjects that are most challenging, and allowing for soccer games and band practice. Helping your child keep track of time spent studying - rather than staring at a blank page - will help him think about how he's using his time. If he's spending too much time on a subject that might be a signal that he needs extra help or tutoring.

Help your child break big projects into smaller ones.

A big research project will seem less overwhelming and will be less likely to be left until the last minute if it's done in manageable chunks, each with its own deadline.

Communicate with your child's teachers.

If your child is struggling with organizational skills, talk to the school counselor or teachers about what might be causing the problems and brainstorm approaches to solve them.

"Did you do your homework?"

Parents need to ask more questions than this one, teachers advise. How much should you help with homework? Monitor homework but remember it's your child's homework, not yours. You can help by asking questions that help guide your child to his own solutions. Some examples:

What information do you need to do this assignment?

Where are you going to look for it?

Where do you think you should begin?

What do you need to do next?

Can you describe how you're going to solve this problem?

How did you solve this problem?

What did you try that didn't work?

Why does this answer seem right to you?

Tell me more about this part?

Studying for tests

Studying for tests is a skill. For struggling students, it's a mystery.

"Unsuccessful test takers don't know where the questions come from," says Jim Burke, a California high school English teacher and the author of a number of books about teaching and learning. "The kids who don't succeed tend to think the others are lucky."

Parents can help their children manage their time and attention - which means turning of the cell phone, the TV and the iPod, says Burke.

Some tips to remember in helping your child:

Rereading isn't the same as learning.

"Reviewing alone is not enough, says Kipnis, the UPenn student, reflecting on what she has learned along the way. "Thinking of potential essay questions and outlining them or working out the challenging math problems helps me learn how to apply the material so that I do not blank when I see the questions on the test."

"For math and sciences, a big problem that I had was that I would spend a lot of time reviewing the concepts, but I wouldn't learn them because I was not practicing applying the concepts," she says. "I was the most productive when I created sheets with tons of practice problems and just practiced applying the concept in many different ways."

There are other ways your student can practice this kind of active learning - highlighting his notes, using Post-its to mark key textbook passages, making study cards, and mapping and diagramming concepts.

People are productive at different times of day.

Some people focus better in the morning, others at night. Help your child find the times that his efforts will be most effective.

Sometimes we just have to memorize.

You may have used a mnemonic like Roy G. Biv to remember the colors of the rainbow (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet) or My Very Educated Mother Just Sent Us Nine Pizzas to remember the correct order of the planets, back when Pluto was still considered the ninth one. Inventing your own silly mnemonic together works just as well and can lighten up a study session.

Help your child make the most of his time.

If she carries a review sheet or book along with her, sitting in the doctor's waiting room or waiting out a traffic jam can be productive study time. That leaves more time for a basketball game after school.

Make sure your child knows the basics.

Find out the skills students at your child's grade level are expected to have. Middle school students are generally expected to have learned basic multiplication and division facts, for example. If your child can't quickly recall them, it is likely to hurt her scores on math tests.

Look for other sources of support.

Find out the best way to reach your child's teachers and keep that contact information handy all year. Is there a college student in your neighborhood who can help with math, a relative who can tutor him in Spanish? Talk to your child about finding a "study buddy" or group. Study groups can be effective because students can fill in the gaps in each other's knowledge and test their understanding of the material by explaining it to others.

Reflect on what works.

Some questions you can ask your child: How do you know when you've studied enough? How did you keep yourself focused? How much time did you plan to spend and how much did you actually spend? How would you do this differently next time?

Help your child destress.

Good study skills can help reduce anxiety, and so can relaxation exercises and regular physical activity. If your child seems unusually anxious about tests, talk to him about it. If the work seems too difficult for your child or the workload too great, contact the school.

"Have a conversation with the teacher," says Winburn, the South Carolina teacher. "Maybe the child doesn't need to be doing 100 problems to practice a concept. Maybe 10 is just fine."

Faced with poor student performance on tests and assignments, teachers often recognize that the root of the problem lies not in the material or in how it is taught, but in how students choose to study it. Some students lack experience with effective methods of study; they measure the effectiveness of their studying by the length of time they spend in front of a book -- not in their comprehension of it. Harsh reality sets in when grades are dispensed! Discover how teachers in the trenches are introducing students to better ways of studying effectively. Included: Three educators share their tips and tricks to improve study skills!

Tips for a Successful
Breakfast Club
Kathy Dekmar shares the following advice with those who would like to hold morning review sessions similar to her Breakfast Club.

* Allow students to be kids.
* Don't set so many rules that it becomes an unpleasant experience for students.
* Be sure students review the material prior to the "extra" time, so there is direction and focus, and discussions are on-task.
* Don't be frustrated if small numbers take part in the beginning. Any change for the better is a good change.
* Don't make it a punishment.
* Share with parents -- through e-mail newsletters, open house communications, quarterly reports, and any other type of communication -- that this opportunity is available.
* Review school rules about entering the building prior to the homeroom period. Students might need a pass or you may have to discuss the new study time in advance with hall/door monitors.
* Keep track of the success/improvement of attendees and commend them on their efforts.
* Encourage, encourage and encourage!

The need to improve student study skills has driven some teachers to find unique and creative ways to persuade students to move beyond simply reading material to fully understanding it. Kathy Dekmar's current students may not be familiar with the movie that lent its title to her morning study sessions, but they are certainly well acquainted with the positive results the sessions achieve.

THE BREAKFAST CLUB

"Many middle school students don't know how to study," Dekmar told Education World. "They read over notes, skim the text, and develop study questions they already know the answers to. I've found that our review sessions are a positive experience for students; they challenge one another and direct one another in locating and explaining answers. In the past, I used the lunch period to meet, but that didn't offer much advantage to the morning classes. I tried after school, but many kids were busy with extra-curricular activities or family responsibilities, and just couldn't stay. The process of elimination had me try the morning. I then added food and an identifying name -- The Breakfast Club."

Throughout the school year, Dekmar introduces her seventh grade students at Brooklawn Middle School in Parsippany, New Jersey, to note-taking and test-taking strategies and study skills tricks that complement her American history curriculum. During meetings of The Breakfast Club, students use those techniques and demonstrate them to one another, often sharing homemade flash cards, practice test questions, matching games, and more.

"The students know they can come into the classroom at 7:30 am," said Dekmar. "Many bring donuts, bagels, juice, and milk to share. We set up a buffet table and the kids help themselves and clean up. During the half-hour time period when we are together, they work in groups or pairs and review previously taught information using a review sheet and their own study techniques. Toward the end of the time, I ask rapid-fire questions and the kids answer. They are actually allowed to shout out the answers. (All formality is out the door during this session.) I also answer private questions and clarify misunderstandings. At 8:00 am, all students are dismissed until the homeroom bell rings. That gives me time to organize my class before first period."

Dekmar reports that more students join in her breakfast review sessions every year. They enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, engaging dialogue about subject matter, shared food, and the confidence built through the reviews. She has seen evidence of students teaching one another how to study and remember information. The entire process has become a student-directed and facilitated activity with positive and measurable results.

"Through their observations and experiences at The Breakfast Club, students appreciate that it is cool to study and that the techniques work," Dekmar stated. "They also recognize and appreciate the additional time I allow, which fosters a positive and caring relationship between my students and myself. And students who participate have noticeably higher scores than those who don't."

DEFINING GOOD STUDY HABITS

Social science teacher Linda Bryan is another middle school educator who has observed a lack of study skills among her students. Her students often equate studying with spending time in front of a book -- and their study patterns reflect it.

"Kids have some odd ideas about teachers and the material," Bryan said. "They still believe in luck. They think that some kids get good grades because teachers like them. They don't connect practice with success. They believe that natural athletes become professional athletes; that smart kids naturally get the good grades; and so on."

Bryan, a teacher at Maplewood (Minnesota) Middle School, fears that that kind of misguided logic leads her students to believe that only poor students have to study and that working for something is somehow a badge of dishonor. So she emphasizes to her students the importance of study and discusses effective studying behaviors. Bryan also encourages students to use odd moments -- such as waiting in the lobby, using a curling iron, or riding in a car or bus -- as stolen study time. "What? You've never taped a vocabulary list to your bathroom mirror?" she jokes.

"I've taken to asking kids to list the ways they should prepare for a quiz," Bryan explained. "In class, I ask students, 'What study methods would work for this material?,' and we brainstorm. On a quiz or review sheet, I sometimes ask them to respond individually to the question, 'What methods did you use to study this material?' If a student does poorly after claiming to have used all the methods, we have a talk -- because something is wrong. More commonly, the low-scoring student will write something like, 'I didn't have time to study' -- which usually translates to 'I didn't try very hard.' When that happens, we talk about what might be a wiser way to prepare for the next quiz."

Many Ways to Study
Social science teacher Linda Bryan encourages her students to try many ways of studying to find those that work best for their individual learning styles. She also discusses with students the most effective ways to study specific subject matter, and recommends to students that they

* practice with flashcards;
* ask someone to quiz you;
* read;
* reread;
* highlight your notes;
* summarize;
* read your notes;
* read your notes aloud;
* organize your papers so you are working with everything you need;
* outline or make a graphic version of written work (lists, columns, Venn diagrams, etc.);
* do a project;
* quiz yourself;
* write memory work over and over until you feel confident;
* use a worksheet as a quiz by covering over the answers and re-doing it;
* look over old quizzes and try to figure out why you're making mistakes;
* look over the returned assignments for the unit;
* answer study guide questions;
* tell someone else what the topic is about;
* look up the parts of the assignments that you didn't understand the first time.

COMING ATTRACTIONS

Patricia Meloy, a Spanish teacher at Barrington (Illinois) High School, says that "inspiration" led her to holding preview sessions for new units as a way to enhance students' study skills.

"By previewing upcoming material, slower students were able to anticipate what was coming up in a lecture," Meloy stated, "and to raise their hands along with the quickest students. It taught them that the book in their possession could offer them the same advantage it offered the 'smart' kids -- if only they would open it and take a peek at the next day's lesson. It taught them that they didn't have to have a teacher walk them through a lesson. And it taught them how to use the textbook as a manual. In class, they seemed to have developed a new-found confidence."

Meloy held her preview sessions before or after school. Students saw them as a great way to get ahead, and often took advantage of them at times when they knew they were going to be absent from class.

"Preview sessions are an excellent way to plan lessons for new teachers or for anyone using an unfamiliar textbook for the first time," explained Meloy. "Holding preview sessions helped me see where students needed more models than the book provided; develop better model sentences for grammar; and develop a non-threatening relationship with students who were anticipating failure -- or at least a struggle with the material. We worked as a team, and the students came to see me as a facilitator in their progress, not as a gatekeeper."

Because of their success, interest in preview sessions diminished over time, and Meloy eventually found that they were not necessary. "Students became able to ask the questions they needed answered in class instead of sitting mute in the back row," she said. "Through the lessons, they adopted a more active role in their own progress."

Whether it is back to school time or any time of the school year, studying equals academic success. However, some students do not know how to study. After watching countless middle school students struggle over the years, I've created a top 10 list of what students can do to improve study habits.

10. Select a consistent place to study.

Some people need total quiet while others can study well with music in the background (try classical music). The key is to find a comfortable place and study there regularly, such as the kitchen table, a desk, a favorite chair, bed, etc. Make sure it has adequate lighting and keep all your study supplies in reach.

The lessons taught in middle school are building blocks for high school and college. Starting good study habits now will help you later in life. It does take more effort to study and to become organized; however, academic success will make you feel good about yourself and your parents smile.

It's completely normal to experience some form of test anxiety prior to an exam. However, anxiety becomes problematic if it gets to a point where it begins to negatively affect your performance. In case you find yourself getting caught in a test-related worry-spiral, we've prepared some strategies to help you relax, prepare and focus on the task at hand.

What Causes Test Anxiety?

Although the root of test anxiety may seem self-explanatory (the obvious answer being, it's a test!) according to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA), there are three primary causes of test-related anxiety:

1. Fear of Failure: If your self-worth is tied to your test score the pressure to perform well may become unbearable.

2. Lack of Preparation: It's easy to get anxious and overwhelmed if you wait until the last minute to study (or don't study at all).

3. Poor Test History: A negative mind-set that stems from poor past results may influence how well you do on future tests.[i]

Finding the Right Relaxation Technique

Finding the right relaxation technique is a very personal endeavor that will likely involve some trial and error. The goal here is to refocus your attention towards calm and increase your awareness of your body. What works for someone else may not be the best option for you, so if at first you don't succeed... try these:

1. Autogenic relaxation: With this technique, you use visual imagery and body awareness to reduce your anxiety. For example, begin by picturing yourself in a peaceful setting (whatever works best for you) then focus on slowing down your breathing, bringing down your heart rate and relaxing your arms and legs.

2. Progressive muscle relaxation: This technique involves slowing tensing and relaxing each of your muscle groups. For example, start by flexing and releasing your toes and working your way up to your head and neck (or vice versa). Tense your muscles for at least five seconds and then relax for 30 seconds, and so on.

3. Visualization: The visualization technique consists of forming calming mental images while trying to use as many senses as you can. For instance, start by closing your eyes (ideally in a quiet spot) and imagine yourself on beach, focus on the smell of the salt water, the sounds of the waves crashing and the warmth of the sun on your body.

In addition to testing out the above relaxation techniques, you can also try calming activities such as meditation, massage, yoga or anything that includes soothing repetitive movement such as walking, swimming or knitting.

Building A Strategy for Success

The thing about anxiety is that it thrives on the unknown. To that end, there are some concrete steps you can take to reduce your fears and ensure that you're at the top of your game when you sit down for your test. So take a deep breath and get ready to:

Improve your time management skills: It's easier to develop good study habits if you create a schedule to manage your time. Start studying in small increments (so you don't get overwhelmed) at least a week or two before the exam rather than trying to cram or pull an all-nighter.

Be prepared: Taking a practice test is also a great way to get more comfortable with both the material and the circumstances you'll face during the actual test.

Approach the exam with confidence: Visualize successfully completing the test and practice shutting down negative thoughts (you can say "NO" aloud or in your head). Remember that you are not your test grade!

Treat your body well: Get enough sleep (more on that below), eat regular meals - avoiding processed foods as much as possible - and give yourself time to decompress. Stress and anxiety are amplified when you're exhausted.

Sweat it out: A new study the University of Maryland School of Public Health found moderate exercise can help reduce future stress and anxiety, and the emotional and mental health benefits may have lasting effects. [ii]

Visit your counseling center: Most college and university campuses have mental health resources available to provide you with support. Take advantage of them!

How to Get a Good Night's Sleep

When you are well-rested you can have more energy, be more productive and feel more emotionally balanced. However, as you may already be a aware, sleep and anxiety don't mix. Whether you have trouble falling asleep because you can't stop your mind from racing or you wake up multiple times throughout the night - the following are some simple strategies to help you sleep better:

Stick to a sleep schedule: Try to go to bed and get up at the same time every day (that includes weekends!) as this consistency reinforces your body's sleep-wake cycle to promote a better sleep.

Give it 15 minutes: If you can't fall asleep within 15 minutes or so, get up and do something else (like reading a book) rather than trying to force it. Remember, no televisions, computers or Smartphones as they will stimulate you and keep you up!

Be careful of what you eat and drink: Physical discomfort from going to bed hungry or stuffed will keep you up. Nicotine, caffeine and alcohol before bed can also disrupt your sleep (and cause middle-of-the night trips to the bathroom.)

Create a bedtime ritual: Whether it's taking a warm bath or listening to soothing music (try classical) doing relaxing activities before bed is a great way to wind your body down for sleep.

Make your bedroom your haven: An ideal room for sleeping is cool, dark and quiet. Black-out shades, earplugs or white noise machines can do wonders. Comfy bedding also helps!

Tips for Test Day

So you've done your studying, perfected your relaxation techniques and slept like a baby - now it's time to take the test. Don't be discouraged if you still feel pangs of anxiety, as a little worry is normal, no matter how prepared you are. Here are some helpful hints to get you through the hardest part:

Allow yourself plenty of time (arrive early).

Make sure you eat a healthy snack beforehand.

Before you start, read the directions carefully.

Budget your time wisely - you can always skip a question and go back.

If you have to write an essay, create an outline first.

Stay focused on the test and not the other students.

If you feel yourself starting to panic take a deep breath and try one of the relaxation techniques discussed above.

Remember, you are capable, confident and prepared!
