Teaching Study Skills and Strategies in Grades 4-8

Teaching students to use study skills and strategies effectively is an important step in transforming dependent learners into independent learners. This book includes more than 130 reproducible activities which provide opportunities for active learning and student practice in the study skills and strategies most important for success in grades 4-8. Each chapter contains objectives, titles of reproducible activities, suggestions for using the reproducible activities, reproducible activities, mastery assessment, and an answer key. A FREE trial version of a computerized assessment called 3S-4/8 (Study Skills and Strategies Assessment-Grades 4 through 8) is included. 3S-4/8 assesses the skills and strategies taught in this book.
