So, how exactly do you raise healthy, well-behaved children who honor family life, work hard in school, believe in themselves, and are not afraid to try new things—even risk failure? Certainly, no one book has all the answers, but Other-Wise and School-Wise: A Parent Guidebook targets most of the home front and school-related issues that face parents today and offers expert advice, activities, and lessons to help them bring up well-adjusted, academically successful kids.
Equip your child with a strategy for success with Getting School-Wise. This versatile book outlines a valuable set of academic strategies in a fun and accessible format. Developing organizational skills, using different learning styles, and listening more effectively are all ways that students can improve their classroom performance. Techniques such as using memory aids and employing time-management activities are emphasized over tedious and inefficient note-taking, and games and brain teasers act as study guides. An approach to test taking stresses the importance of writing skills and analysis over merely getting the right answer. These strategies will help both students and teachers achieve their academic goals
