"This book offers the most practical and realistic method by which to help students succeed. Period! Nothing out there now is more specifically aimed at student success."

—David Scheidecker, Academic Facilitator

Set your students on the road to academic success!

The difference between students who do well in school and those who struggle usually comes down to one thing: effectiveness in their learning and studying strategies. The Study Max program provides high school teachers with a step-by-step method for helping all students capitalize on their learning strengths to become fully engaged learners.

This practical, systematic program gives teachers the tools they need to empower even the most underachieving of students to succeed in school. In ten easy-to-use units, the author provides:

- Engaging, applicable techniques for student achievement

- Clear unit objectives

- Stimulating lesson plans

- More than 100 high-interest, focused activities and exercises for immediate application

Study Max is divided into three sections, each targeting specific learning skills: 1. Learning Styles and Preferences, 2. Getting Organized, and 3. Turbocharging Reading and Studying. Students will learn simple strategies for reading comprehension, taking notes, time management, targeting meaningful goals, improving memory, strategic thinking, preparing for and taking tests, and much more!
