W HO NEEDS STUDY SKILLS?

Students of all abilities are often at risk when it comes to using successful learning strategies. Learning how to learnapplying successful techniquesis like mountain climbing with a backpack equipped with appropriate tools.

Throughout life, we are always facing new and challenging mountains, and we depend upon the tools we carry with us to help us reach the top and attain our goals. It is vital for us to stock our backpacks with both the right background experiences and the tools to achieve a successful ascent. Most students forgo learning basic climbing skills or carefully gathering learning tools because they dont feel the need for them. But then, when the mountain finally looms before them, they often cannot begin to climb (much less scale) the peak. They are lost.

For many, the big mountain appears overwhelming and the climb hopeless. They begin to doubt their abilities, intelligence, and capabilities for learning.

Some potential climbers have natural ability and do not bother with extended practice, essential equipment, and critical experience. They may succeed for a while, but they usually become lost when they need this combination of resources the most. All too often, students find themselves suddenly facing the stressful predicament of acquiring unfamiliar learning skills and content simultaneously. They find themselves out on a ledge with no tools to help them.

Learning and practicing good, useful, and appropriate study skills builds self-confidence so that when faced with the challenge, students can successfully conquer their own mountains. It is vital they learn how to learn along with what they learn. Learning to learn is one of the most basic and important lifelong skills we can acquire. Our lives of learning are filled with hills and mountains. Its simply not enough to know what to climb; we must also know how to climb.

Learning to Learn is a book intended for students, teachers, parents, and anyone who wants a hands-on guide and reference for learning how to learn. This book is not a book simply to readit is a book to use, write in, and tear apart. It is an interactive book filled with practical hints, methods, tips, procedures, resources, and tools that will help students succeed in school and in life. Care has been taken to omit any educational jargon and to present the material in a straightforward manner.

The format of organized step-by-step procedures has been broken down into manageable blocks that can apply across the content areas. Throughout the book, the main concepts are stressed with a positive attitude, a feeling of accomplishment and self-worth, and a sense of humor. Good ideas are easy to find, digest, and put to immediate use.

Begin today to fill those backpacks with terrific lifelong learning skills and climb any learning mountain with confidence!
