Learning how to learn is a crucial skill for any child to acquire from an early age. At "Hit the Books" we will teach your child this valuable skill.
Teaching our children how to learn is as important as teaching them content, because acquiring both the right learning strategies and background knowledge is important – if not essential – for promoting lifelong learning. Our children need basic study skills to be successful in school (&beyond). They need to learn how to plan and organise; process and comprehend what they read or hear in class; be
able to study for tests/exams and develop effective test-taking strategies. At “Hit the books!” we developed a Study Skills Workshop that will teach your child strategies and techniques that will enable him/her to make the most efficient use of their time, resources and academic potential. Developing and improving their study skills will help them in the following ways:
Become more motivated, being able to set goals and plan their time better - getting more work done in less time! To make learning easier, and help retain what they've learned for longer -teaching effective concentration and memory/study techniques. Being able to organising their resources, environment, and themselves for effective studying. Improving their reading comprehension and note-making abilities. Preparing for tests and exams. Our Study Skills Course will run over 3 days, 4 hours per day. Our focus groups are grades 4/5 and grades 6/7. Depending on the interest we receive our venues (& areas), dates and times will be confirmed. Space will be limited since we will only take 10 learners per session. Workshops will be facilitated by a team of professional trainers. The minimum costs are R995 per learner per course, depending on the venue & area. Should you want to know more or would like to receive emails regarding our Study Skills Workshop venues, dates and times, kindly email/sms us your details. Warm regards,
Liz Fourie
Workshop coordinator for the “Hit the books!” -team.
