Effective Skills that New High School Students Need to Succeed

By the time your child reaches high school, the average amount of homework per week is 17.5 hours! If your child is just beginning high school, it is important to realize how different high school is going to be for them, compared to middle school. This is a major transition that brings on all new challenges that can be difficult for freshmen high school students to get accustomed to. Now that your son or daughter is in high school, their grades and performance are more crucial than ever. Colleges are recruiting students even when they are in their early years of high school and will look at grades during freshman and sophomore years to see how the student performed.

To succeed in high school, new high school students need to have strong and solid study skills which include effective time management, basic study habits, note taking skills, goal setting, and progress monitoring. This set of executive function skills impact critical academic areas from reading comprehension, written language, assignment completion, problem solving, studying and taking tests.
