Getting ready to perform well at school and concentrate on homework after the long Christmas break is easier than you think for kids and parents alike.
Adjusting back to the daily school schedule can take a couple of weeks, but having the right study tools, cool stationery, as well as a few small adjustments to your child's study habits can help them be excited and dedicated to their academic performance.
Below are some helpful hints from Jennifer Fleming, Australian Office Brand Manager to get kids prepared and motivated for the new school year:
1. Use Colour
One way to help kids get organised is to incorporate a colour coding system to their school and homework routine.
Tudor and Olympic have a variety of coloured exercise books so your child can easily distinguish between subjects. Both brands offer books in a variety of page numbers with different rulings to suit teacher's requirements for any subject – be it maths, music or English.
2. Label and Flag
Label your notebook and flag important study pages so you can easily locate your books and notes.
All Reflex, Tudor and Olympic exercise books come with an easy to find booklist reference on the front cover. Additionally, Reflex has convenient self-adhesive removable notes, perfect for making those pages that require follow-up or revision.
3. Establish study rules and a routine
Discuss with your child if they need short regular breaks between study sessions, computer time, or if music aids their concentration so you can understand about when and how they study best.
The Tutor Eco range of exercise books features exciting facts on native Australian Animals, which is perfect for kids wanting a quick study break.
4. Plan ahead
Kids can easily get overwhelmed with deadlines, setting priorities, completing coursework and studying for exams.
Create a term planner, which greatly assists with due dates, homework priorities and other demands on your child's time.
5. Praise
Most importantly don't forget to praise your child on a job well done for extra encouragement.
These top study recommendations will help your child master their routine and organizational skills in the new school year, which will have a positive impact on their productivity and performance.
Reflex, Tudor and Olympic study tools and accessories are available nationally from leading retailers, newsagencies and stationery resellers.
