It is designed to help you to improve your active listening skills over time and with practice. Remember that you do not need to be improving these skills only when supporting your child, you can develop these skills with your friends and colleagues by becoming a better listener and a better support to them. The more practice that you can develop the easier it will be when moments of crisis arise at home. Contents: -
Using the best revision techniques is often something that students can feel uncertain about. Many schools teach revision techniques and yet students can still feel confused about fundamental aspects such as where to place retrieval (or recalling information from memory) within the learning process. Students can waste a great deal of time on activities that make them feel good but are not effective in terms of learning. Examples of this include writing copious, beautiful notes or making flashcards in preparation for later learning and testing. These processes take up a lot of time without delivering learning quickly. In this revision cycle learning is prioritised from the first moment of engaging in the act of revision. Numerous additional techniques are designed to save time, boost memory and help maintain interest whilst studying. A revision cycle that can be printed out is used to help guide the process of revision. Contents:- THE REVISION CYCLE
- USING THE REVISION CYCLE
- THE ROLE OF RETRIEVAL
- USING YOUTUBE AND FINDING A KILLER FACT
- REVISION TOP TIPS
- TED TALK ON MEMORY

Add both to the basket and the discount will appear in there.Balancing work, rest and play is an important skill which helps students to sustain a high level of performance over extended periods of time such as during the exam season. Often students focus predominantly on their academic life and neglect sufficient rest or leisure activities. However, incorporating rest, relaxation, sleep and play activities can enhance learning capacity and create resilience to stress. Students can benefit from assessing how they currently allocate their time between work, rest and play to evaluate if their life feels balanced. Adjusting the proportions of these three components can optimise wellbeing, better equip students to manage exam pressure and ultimately boost academic achievement. This workbook looks at how we can encourage students to buy-in to these ideas, especially where students may be highly driven and do not see their academic success as a function of their overall wellbeing. Contents:- THE WORK, REST & PLAY PIE CHART
- ACTIVITY ADD-ONS
- FEELINGS AND REALITY
- BALANCE NOW AND DURING EXAMS
- THE BENEFITS OF PLAY
- DEVELOPING SOFT SKILLS
