Week 1: Designated Study Space
How you can create the perfect study space for your child at home.
Week 2: Silent Focus
Our brain is not as efficient at multitasking as we think it is!
Week 3: Distractions
Mobile phones and notifications are now part of our everyday life, but they have become the killer of focus and attention, especially when trying to concentrate or study.
Week 4: Rest and Sleep
Making sure that your child gets adequate rest and sleep every night is essential for not only a healthy lifestyle but it also plays a major part in the learning process.
Week 5: Equipment Ready
One of the things that can cause interruption to your child’s study flow, is not having everything they need when they begin their period of study.
Week 6: The Pomodoro Technique
The brain can only focus deeply and concentrate for a short period of time before it becomes fatigued. Therefore, the longer a child studies for without a break, the more inefficient they become.
Week 7: Retrieval Practice
Retrieval Practice is a powerful study tool that is important in the act of revision. It helps strengthen memory by pulling information out of your head rather than cramming information in.
