Customer Reviews

Outstanding...

I'm a 5th grade teacher and am very impressed with this book. I've read it through and it has given me so many ideas to use to help my students become stronger academically. I hope to enable them to take solid notes and to read a textbook effectively along with becoming more organized. I definitely recommend this book!

A must have for all teachers!

This book has helped our fifth grade be more creative in all of the curriculum areas. Math, Social Studies, and Science are perfect for her creative graphic organizers which give the students a new perspective on their own work. We have also used her ideas with our writing program, and with our literature programs.

GREAT, WORKABLE STUDY SKILLS

Judy Dodge's Study Skills Strategies are very flexible and can be adapted to any grade level. That's what makes them so GREAT! I was lucky enough to attend several of Ms. Dodge's Study Skills Workshops several years ago, and I've been teaching with her strategies ever since. In fact, the administrators in my district were so impressed with her ideas and strategies that every K through 5 teacher in my school has been using them. There is no better preparation for the English Language Arts Assessment than this! Once you've used this book and the ideas in it, you'll never teach the same way again!More importantly, the students will be more organized and focused that ever before. Thank you, Judy Dodge, for giving all teachers a workable and enjoyable way to teach study skills through the grades. We need more!

Study Skills for Students

This is an easy to understand and even easier to implement guide for study skills instruction at the elementary level. The strategies presented can be used in all curriculum areas and are easily adapted to the specific instructional goals of individual teachers. Students at all grade levels enjoy working with these study skills. Ideas like "The Sum-It-Up" and "Filming the Idea" are easily introduced to children at even the kindergarten level. The ideas in this book provide excellent support for students as they organize their thinking. The formats are particularly useful in preparation for the 4th grade ELA and Math tests. I look forward to additional suggestions from this author.

This woman has helped to revolutionize my classroom!

I love this book! The ideas are simple, yet you are able to apply each and every suggestion in countless ways! I have been fortunate enough to attend many of Ms. Dodge's workshops as well, and I highly recommend them. The purchase of this book will give your teaching a shot in the arm... and your kids will love the "new approach!" Buy it!!!!! Then tell your principal to but it for the whole staff at your school... appropriate strategies K-12.
