The emphasis in a study
guide is on the process
of learning, and not on
content.
The guide advises
students about what
they should be learning
and how they should be
learning, rather than
simply being a source
of information
Haarden, Laidlaw & Hesketh, 1999

Struggling older readers require more time,
practice, and discussion to achieve adequate
progress. (Fletcher, Lyons, Fuchs, Barnes, 2007)
23. Student Feedback…
A sampling of student comments by students who
eventually voluntarily requested study guides:
Student 1: “Just come to my house, Mrs. K-F and you will see them
[study guide]all over my room; of course I use them!”
Student 2: “Mrs. K, can’t you tell? My grades are better. Of
course, I use them [study guides], but not every part, just the parts I
need.
Student 3: “I use them to review and to write out my notes.”
24. Student Feedback…
Originally some students did not use the study guides.
THEN
…as the weeks progressed, students began to
take the study guides…
Why?
They realized there was more to the study guides, and
their grades improved.

Previewing is the greatest opportunity to have a student work with a parent to “activate one’s mind” and to be ready for the class presentations and class discussions. To preview and not to be “behind the 8 ball, after the fact” is a strong educational tool…
Comprehension strategy
This is a great concept approach to study, students use electronic media, and in the process read and listen to information…Primary source is the newspaper article; two you tube videos, pictures and one famous reporter
