10 Ways to Encourage Healthy Study Habits
1. Create an exclusive study space.
Your need a quiet and organized space that is for studying and homework only. This can be a quiet corner of the house, set up with a small desk and chair or even a TV tray and chair, if that is all you have space for. Nothing else should happen in this space, so that it is associated only with learning.
2. Have materials organized.
Study time can be quickly disrupted if you do not have the supplies you need and instead need to run around looking for them. A simple shoe box filled with markers, highlighters, a calculator, sharpened pencils and scrap paper is all you need. This way, you don’t need to leave the space to find materials. The organization and maintenance of these materials is your responsibility.
3. Set a scheduled study time.
Set a time each day in your home that is just for study and homework. This can be the hour you get home from school after you have had a snack, or perhaps the hour after dinner. Students enjoy the consistent routine and know that during that hour, learning only is taking place.
4. Shut off distractions.
You will not be able to become absorbed in your work if there are TV and music blaring. Make study time a quiet time. Turn off all cell phones, televisions and video games. Ask other members of the family to respect this time as well by observing a quiet time.
5. Provide gentle stimulation.
While blaring noises are bad, soft stimulation is good for the brain and can promote learning as well as relaxation. Soft classical or instrumental music is great, or you can turn on a small, trickling tabletop fountain. These soft sounds will promote a relaxed but effective learning environment you will love.
6. Ask for help.
During study time, you may need help from your parents and friends. Attempt to work independently but know it is ok to ask for help or guidance if you need it.
7. Demonstrate how to make study aids.
You may need to be shown how to make flash cards and charts for yourself that can help keep important information organized. Ask your teacher or parents for help if you are unsure. Use your materials to create flash cards and bullet point charts that can be helpful. You may need to use a highlighter to highlight important information as well.
8. Have open communication with the your teacher.
If you do not understand an assignment, you may need to ask for clarification. Having open communication will be very beneficial.
9. Create a task chart.
It may be easiest to have a dry erase task chart that you can write nightly or weekly assignments on and erase or check off as they are completed. This way you know what is done and what needs to be done.
10. Keep a positive attitude and don't give up.
Remember that not everything will be easy, but keeping a positive attitude will help you overcome obstacles.
As you can see, these tips make encouraging healthy study habits a cinch. Give them a try and see how easy it is to be a lifelong learner. So give them a try and enjoy the results!
