The SOAR Study Skills book offers a full comprehensive program that empowers students to manage their time, schoolwork, and extra-curricular activities more efficiently. All, while learning how to study the EASIEST and MOST EFFECTIVE way. All strategies are easy to integrate into an immediate routine. The four-step program builds upon each strategy to increase students' understanding and retention, while decreasing their homework and study time. This book is appropriate for students in fifth grade and older, parents of all school-aged children, and educators of middle-school thru college.
All strategies are easy to integrate into an immediate routine. The four-step program builds upon each strategy to increase students understanding and retention, while decreasing their homework and study time. SOAR® Study Skills is a core program, addressing basic organizational and strategic learning needs for students. There are some popular study strategies that you will NOT see in SOAR® because they do not meet our criteria for student-friendly.
The three principles that continue to guide the contents of the SOAR® Study Skills Curriculum are the principles for a student-friendly system:
* Strategies must be time-efficient. Strategies must be realistic for students to do, save them time, and reduce as many unnecessary steps as possible.
* Strategies must be effective. We respect teachers' and students time and will not teach anything that does not deliver results.
* Strategies must apply across the content areas. There are many study skills that are useful techniques, but we only select or develop strategies that apply across content areas so that students will clearly understand the appropriate times/settings to use the strategies. This approach empowers students to confidently take more responsibility for their own work and develop a more strategic approach to all of their learning.
