Study skills are not naturally occurring, they have to be learnt like any other skill. It has become apparent to me that many learners struggle, even with such skills as note-taking, and even more when it comes to writing assignments, nor have some much idea about effective ways of revising, so I began some time ago to think about putting a few points together on paper to assist them.

I have put the following together in a way that can be added to or updated, and so that learners can take the sheets that are relevant to them, and in the future I hope to expand and broaden the information and eventually put this resource pack onto a website for learners to access over the Internet. I would be grateful for any feedback and suggestions for improvement.
