Teaching "good" study habits before students learn "bad" ones is the cornerstone of the 20 Hour Course. It uses a 7.2 readability to engage students in using practice exercises common to middle school cognition. Students discover new ways of handling regular class assignments with greater speed and understanding. Success is a built-in ingredient in each chapter as examples move from easy to more difficult. A pre and post test survey is available that documents the gains of students as they master the techniques presented. A pre and post test Parents' Observation survey is also available for engaging parents in the evaluation process. (click Pre/Post Assessments for more information.)
