Study Tips
Here are two study tips from over 1,500 tips submitted by students and teachers

Hannah Mercer, Student, 6th Tennessee
SEE ALL STUDY TIPS
The way I remember what new vocabulary words mean is to try to associate the word with something in my own life. Here's an example. When I learned about thermostat in a science class, I thought about how my mom always tells my dad he keeps the thermostat too low. That way I remember that a thermostat is something that regulates temperature.

Good Writing Position
Whether your students are writing in print or cursive (a disappearing form), they can improve the legibility of their writing by maintaining a good writing position. Writing in a good position promotes proper size, formation, and spacing of letters
Return Work Quickly
Grade and return work to students as quickly as possible. The greater the interval between a student handing in and receiving graded work, the less impact your feedback will have.
