Research:
“Just as a carpenter needs the right tools (such as a saw and hammer) and basic skills (such as how to measure and cut wood) to frame a house, students need the right tools (such as notebooks and assignment pads) and basic study skills (such as reading and note-taking skills) to be successful in school” (Joan Sedita, 1999).

STUDY SKILLS: Reading“Students with learning problems must be taught strategies to help them acquire information quickly from a variety of printed materials.” (Cecil D. Mercer, 2011).
SQ3R
Survey: pre-reading; scanning reading material to determine major points
Questions: turning the title, headings, and subheadings into questions.
Read: looks for answers to previewed questions; reads one section at a time; rereads parts that are not clear; takes notes
Recite: seeing, saying, and hearing
Review: ongoing process; verifies answers during the rereading portion
SQW3R is a derivation of SQ3R wherein students write questions after each subheadings.
(Mercer, Mercer, & Pullen, 2011)

STUDY SKILLS: Spelling
Wong (1986)(questioning strategy)
1. Do I know the word?2. How many syllables do I hear
in this word?3. I will write the word the way
I think it is spelled.4. Do I have the right number of
syllables?5. Is there any part of the word
that I am not sure to spell?6. Does the word look right to
me?7. When I finish, I will tell
myself that I have worked hard.
Spot the word and say it.Picture the word.Eyes closed.Look to see if the visual is correct.Look away and write the word.Examine the spelling by checking.Repeat or Reward
