This remarkable book shows teachers how to share the secrets of learning with students.

Using straightforward language, Learning to Learn presents an interesting, systematic, and flexible approach to the key components needed for success in and out of the classroom. New and effective skills to help students work and study are presented along with activities to guide them towards developing better work habits.

Each of the seven units includes practical teaching suggestions--how to introduce or present each activity, the estimated amount of class time required, possible discussion questions, and additional related activities. All student activity pages are in an easy-to-copy format that saves time.
