*Parental Guidance is suggested: You know best what to share with your child.
Older students often procrastinate and then cram at the last-minute. As a result, very little learning takes place. Although cramming is never a good strategy, and I’m sure none of your children would ever do this, I’m told it happens. Here are some thoughts about this subject.
- Cramming is never a good idea unless you want lower grades. It important to let kids know they do so at their own risk.
- If you must cram, be selective: history, geography are best to cram.
- If you must cram, highlight notes and record main ideas.
- If you must cram, recite, recite, recite – read notes out loud several times.
- If you must cram, study the things the teacher will likely put on the test:
- Vocabulary
- Important things mentioned in class
- Important dates and names
