Study Skill Workshop - Magic Blox

STUDY SKILLS WORKSHOP

At the Magic Blox Children’s Wellness Center we offer group or individual Study Skills Courses as well as Study Skills Coaching for both Primary and High school children.

THE STUDY SKILLS COURSE

Our 4-hour study skills course will take your child through the 5 steps of studying. It will teach them various different summary and memory techniques. It will help them to identify what type of learner they are. The course is very practical and will teach the skills, secrets, tips, and tricks for studying each subject rather than just teaching theory. The use of fun, wacky examples applied to everyday school subjects, will give them the confidence to apply these to their own work.

The most relevant and useful information from neuroscience, ILS life coaching, occupational therapy, and teaching have been put together in this course to give your child the tools to succeed. Each technique has been proven and is successful in its own right. If your child applies what they had learnt in the course, it will not only help with their school work but will improve other areas of their life.

What we Offer your child

There are various options which can be selected. The course is to teach the basic skills for children in Grade 4 — 7/ 8 — 12. It will help children on any academic level, it is for those who are doing really well to those who aren’t doing so well. This helps to instill good habits at an early age.

The individual course is for children who have poor concentration, may be distracted, or do better with one-to-one input.
The group courses are for children who concentrate well, are not easily distracted, and learn well in group situations.

we would recommend that all learners go through the course. If learners struggle to apply the skills to their own studying, it is recommended that they come for Study skills coaching for a term or two, until they are able to study independently.
