Setting Your Sights - Series

The three resource books that make up this comprehensive series are for senior students who want to motivate themselves, learn how to study more efficiently and effectively, and get some fun out of it at the same time! It is also for teachers and parents, who are invaluable in supporting and encouraging students in their endeavours. The three books build on one another. Book A, “Setting the Scene”, helps students get in the “mood” for study and highlights the importance of a good attitude to study. Book B, “Building the Framework”, draws on the present-day psychological and scientific knowledge that underpins our understanding of how people learn. It gives students opportunities to reflect on and determine the modes of learning and studying that best suit their individual personalities and abilities. In Book C, “Developing Techniques”, students are presented with a wide variety of study techniques, tips and hints that can be used for various purposes, such as essay writing, note taking, study skills and techniques, and sitting exams.
