Organizing Kids for Academic Success
Can Organization Boost Academic Performance?
Absolutely.
Parenting expert Stacy DeBroff, author of "The Mom Book Goes to School: Insider Tips to Ensure Your Child Thrives in Elementary and Middle School," emphasizes that a child's lack of organization can significantly hinder their homework, study skills, and test scores. Her research involved hundreds of teachers and parents.
"Many kids struggle because they lack self-management and organizational skills. They often find it challenging to plan ahead, prioritize tasks, and manage their time effectively," DeBroff notes.
To address this, DeBroff teamed up with Office Depot to create "Organized to Learn," a free online guide available at www.school.com. This resource offers practical tips to help families prepare for school. Here are some highlights:
- Plan the Work, Then Work the Plan: Have weekly discussions with your child about key assignments and events. Create a checklist together on a dry-erase board. Let your child mark off tasks when completed for a sense of achievement.
- Utilize Visible Reminders: Use wearable reminder systems like Mead Wrist Reminders, which are paper bracelets, to help kids remember important tasks like turning in permission slips or coming home at a specific time.
- Invest in an Ergonomic Backpack: Heavy backpacks can cause strain. Opt for an ergonomically designed backpack with multiple pockets, like the TUG by Foray, to help your child stay organized and prevent backaches.
- Facilitate Easy File Sharing: With electronic sharing becoming common, students can use an Ativa flash drive with McAfee software for virus scanning to safely share notes and collaborate on study projects.
- Practice Good Paper Management: Teach kids to organize their notebooks effectively. The Mead Five Star Flex Hybrid NoteBinder allows customization with folders, reinforced paper, and color dividers.
By incorporating these strategies, parents and children can work together to enhance organizational skills, leading to improved academic performance.
