You are smarter than your grades say. Most teens who fall behind are not lazy. They are missing systems. Nobody taught them the study skills, time management, and organization habits that school quietly demands — how to track six classes, start homework they do not want to start, or manage a phone engineered to steal their focus. Don’t Fall Behind in High School gives students 61 simple, practical strategies that build those executive function skills — and this Updated and Expanded Edition now includes a practice activity for every single strategy.

Every strategy is short, direct, and actionable within 5–10 minutes. Then a quick activity — a scenario check, true/false, fill-in-the-blank, word scramble, or real-life reflection — helps the student prove they understood it and shows them exactly how to use it. No lectures. No shame. No “just try harder.”

Inside this study skills workbook, teens will learn how to:
• Stay organized with ONE system for every assignment, so nothing slips through the cracks
• Break overwhelming homework and projects into steps they can actually start
• Beat the phone, social media, and the scroll that eats entire evenings
• Build morning and evening routines that run on autopilot
• Manage time with alarms, timers, and buffers that do the remembering for them
• Handle big emotions, friendships, and the pressure to seem “normal”
• Stay safe and reliable at their first job and behind the wheel
• Speak up for themselves — with teachers, at meetings, and when something feels off

What makes this Practice Edition different:
• A practice activity after every one of the 61 strategies
• Scenario checks and reflection prompts that turn reading into doing
• Word-for-word scripts students can actually say to teachers and friends
• Common Mistake / Better Move guidance throughout
• A Master Strategy Checklist to track every strategy tried
• Resources organized by problem, so help is easy to find fast

No diagnosis needed. No labels. If homework, deadlines, focus, time, or follow-through are hard, this workbook helps — for any high school student, grades 9–12, from freshman year to graduation.

Part of the Don’t Fall Behind Student Success Series, written by an educator with more than 20 years of experience working with students of many abilities, strengths, and support needs.

Practice activities are included in the paperback edition.

The gap between what a teen knows and what their grades show is not a character flaw. It is a systems problem — and systems can be built. Start today.
