Be Your Teen's 'Study Buddy'

It can help students to have a "study buddy"—someone to collaborate with as they do their work. Sometimes a buddy can be a classmate. But adults at home also make good study buddies.

To be an effective study buddy:

• Help your teen find sources and organize information for a report or quiz.
• Show your teen how to break larger tasks down into smaller parts.
• Help your student recognize key ideas in books.
• Make up questions that might be on a test, and take turns answering them.
• Use flashcards to help your teen practice spelling or math, or memorize history or other facts.
• Listen as your teen practices a presentation.
• Make sure your teen understands assignment instructions.
• Offer encouragement by complimenting effort and small improvements.
