Study skills enable us to organise and learn effectively. They help us to acquire and retain information, and they are crucial to academic success.  Developing your study skills can help you feel more in control of your studies, better organised and can help you meet new challenges as you progress through your degree. Stress is the number one enemy of effective study and feeling in control lessens stress.

Learning to spell helps to develop a strong connection between the letters and their sounds and learning high-frequency 'sight words' (i.e. words that can not easily be sounded out) will assist in both their reading and writing.

This is part of our Study Skills series. If learners would like to develop their study skills further, you may be interested in our other classes.

We look forward to being part of your learning journey!
