Study Skills: Teaching & Learning Strategies
for Mainstream & Specialized Classrooms

by Sara Brody, EdD

Encourage pupils to develop skill and confidence by teaching procedures that simplify school tasks. Students can follow routine steps each time they study for tests, face new assignments, attempt to write papers, listen to lectures, take notes, approach course readings, or prepare for oral presentations. These skills lead toward mastery of academic challenges and enhance learning in content-rich settings.

Study Skills: Teaching and Learning Strategies offers 60 pages of activities and procedures that teach and reinforce study techniques, along with suggestions for applying these skills to real-life situations. These strategies are effective in tutorial settings or when transferred to mainstream classrooms. Dr. Brody developed the procedures in this manual while working with students identified with learning disabilities.

Classroom teachers who use this material comment:
      "Students who use these strategies are finally succeeding."
      "These techniques help all students, not just the ones with disabilities."

Patterning: Grammar Becomes Possible

by Sara Brody, EdD

Many students despair that the grammar unit in English class will ruin their grade point average. When learners have difficulty writing complete sentences, lessons in grammar often seem overwhelming. Patterning: Grammar Becomes Possible assists students with these tasks by teaching four common patterns that are followed by most English sentences.

This text-workbook directly develops students' sensitivity to grammar and sentence construction. Students learn how to identify parts of speech as the varying roles that words play in specific sentences. Activities include the study of model phrases and sentences along with opportunities for practice in identifying and composing sentences. Exercises simplify identification of nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, articles, pronouns, conjunctions, and interjections.
