Study Habits

This week we talked about study habits in Spanish. Here are the highlights of what we discussed:

• Students should spend time studying a little bit everyday rather than just studying a day or two before a quiz.  
• Even when students don't have an actual homework assignment, there is always weekly vocabulary that the students should and can review.
• When studying for vocabulary, students need to make sure that they can produce vocabulary, not just recognize it.  That means they need to be able to spell it instead of just recognizing the words.
• Students need to spend a little time every day practicing Spanish because repetition is the best way for Spanish to "click".  It is also the best way to help them remember their Spanish for a long time.
