Upper School
Study Skills Program
Below are links to the handouts we gave students for our study skills program. These are digital copies of the handouts mentioned in the Letter for Ninth Grade Parents.
Our goal was to give students a framework and common vocabulary for targeted study skills identified by faculty as critical to student success.
Teachers are reinforcing these skills in their classes and using the same language to emphasize how important these skills are at Bush. Please use every opportunity to do the same at home. Have fun with these!
If your child struggles on a test, use our test preparation tips and start a conversation clarifying what your son or daughter did to prepare for the test and possible changes in their approach to test preparation.
Handouts given to students Fall 2008:
- Tips on Learning Styles and Study Strategies
