Includes CD-Rom There are many 'Do-it-Yourself' manuals for
students and young people experiencing study skills problems.
However, if this group of young people could study these books then
they would already have the skills necessary! In order to use a
self help manual the student needs internal motivation, the ability
to self-instruct from text and the ability to put the learned
strategy into place... but these are the same attributes that these
students find difficult. In this book, Pat Guy provides a series of
lesson plans making up a taught study skills course for secondary
schools, sixth forms, FE colleges and Pupil Referral Units. She
shows the reader how to teach, through self assessment, practice
and confidence-building techniques, the techniques and self
management required to achieve independent study skills. All the
activities and worksheets, including revision and exam tips for the
students, are easily printable from the accompanying CD-rom. The
sessions can be delivered by teachers, tutors, Learning Mentors, or
anyone whose aim is to improve attendance and achievement in older
students. Pat Guy has taught for over twenty years in LEA and
secondary schools in Outer London, Northamptonshire, Birmingham and
Bedfordshire as a class teacher, subject teacher, SEN support,
SENCO and advisory teacher. SAGE Study Skills are essential study
