Parent AdviceSlide3
Encourage your child to ACTIVELY revise rather than PASSIVELY revise
Students often mistake reading through notes or websites as revision – it is not.
Active RevisionSlide4
Active revision
Where possible - help provide the right resources for your child to revise actively:
post-it notes, pen, ruler, paper, scissors & glue, internet access if you have it, dictionary, highlighter pens, coloured pens, revision guides, revision CDs and podcastsSlide5
Active Revision
We learn:
• 10% of what we read
• 20% of what we hear
• 30% of what we see
• 40% of what we see and hear
• 70% of what is discussed
• 95% of what we teach to someone else
This means that the best
method of learning is
having to explain or teach a
topic to someone else.Slide6
