Have you been tense about going back to school, remembering the homework that could bury you alive or thinking about all those painful tests or quizzes? A little practice now can send all of your school worries away.

To prepare yourself for all the book reports or stories, now is the time to read about two chapters a day from a novel that may interest you, for example mystery, murder, humor, and even silly novels. This skill will help develop concentration and focus.

Are you afraid about not knowing a clue about next year's subjects? Well, study packets on subjects taught in school come to the rescue. These stapled papers, provided by trusted teachers, will have a few important things to teach you on topics you are yet to learn. This will improve your skills and help you get better grades.

Want to be fit for gym class? Practice physical education like running, jogging, pushups, and jumping jacks. Exercise is not complete without healthy food. Try eating fruits, vegetables, roti (Indian bread), and dosa (Indian rice pancake).

Good habits are the main thing to get you ready for school. First, adjust your daily schedule according to school. This includes waking up early, eating according to school time, learning and reading for some time daily, reducing TV times, and being organized. Practicing your manners now will show teachers and students that you are a respectful and kind student. Try practicing kind phrases like thank you, you're welcome, and, if you attend Islamic school like I do, practice saying Assalamualaikum (peace be upon you),.

Hope these tips help you get ready for school! All the best.
