Study Tools

These tools help you stay organized and make learning easier. Use them whenever you need a boost.

• Checklists: Keep track of what you need to finish.
• Timers: Try short study bursts like 10–15 minutes.
• Flashcards: Great for vocabulary, math facts, and quick review.
• Graphic organizers: Use them to plan writing or break down big ideas.

Focus Strategies

Staying focused can be tough — these strategies help your brain stay calm and ready to learn.

• Try the “5‑minute start” — just begin for 5 minutes.
• Use noise‑free or quiet music to help you concentrate.
• Take short breaks every 10–20 minutes.
• Keep only what you need on your desk.

Reading Tools

Reading becomes easier when you use tools that help you understand and remember what you read.

• Use a finger or bookmark to track lines.
• Pause after each paragraph and think about what happened.
• Highlight or underline important words (if allowed).
• Ask yourself: “What’s the main idea?”

Math Tools

Math is easier when you break it into steps and use tools that help you think clearly.

• Use number lines or counters for tricky problems.
• Draw pictures to help you understand word problems.
• Practice math facts with flashcards or quick games.
• Check your work by doing the problem backwards.

Organization Tools

Staying organized helps you feel calm and ready to learn. These tools keep everything in order.

• Use folders or binders for each subject.
• Write down assignments in a planner or notebook.
• Keep a “done” list to celebrate what you finish.
• Clean your workspace at the end of each day.
