Effective note taking is an essential skill that makes reading and class time more productive but is rarely taught in school.

We Demystify the Note Taking Process By:

  • Teaching note taking techniques for different learning styles.
  • Giving students effective methods for organizing notes for different classes or purposes (study, research, etc).
  • Providing a “close reading” strategy to help students identify important information to take notes on.
  • Focusing on learning and retention, both during the note taking process, and review.
  • Explaining how to most effectively use notes for tests and papers.
  • Providing all students with best practice tips for both text and lectures.

This workshop is for your student if your child . . . 

  • Is enrolled in grades 9 to 12
  • Struggles with finding important information on a given page of reading.
  • Takes notes that are unorganized or the organizational system being used does not seem to promote learning and retention
  • Only takes notes when required to by a teacher
  • Has notes but doesn’t know how to use them
  • Copies verbatim from a text book without a sense of what he or she is actually reading
  • Takes too many or too few notes.
