Boost study skills to improve grades and help pass exams
What is BrainBooster?
Dyslexia affects more than just reading and spelling. Many adult dyslexics will have found their own strategies for coping with reading and spelling difficulties but still experience the frustration caused by problems in other areas such as memory, writing clarity, organisation and reading speed. These difficulties can be overcome by learning the strategies of study skills.
BrainBooster is a complete study skills programme that has been designed for high school students and adults with dyslexia that is easy to use. Boost your memory and discover your learning strengths. This essential interactive guide will help improve grades by revealing the secrets of study skills.
- Six interactive sections: Learn strategies for memory, reading, revision, writing, organisation and try the questionnaire to identify your individual learning strengths.
- Play quick interactive activities or print out additional resources to help develop many of the study skills.
- Ideal as a revision aid
- For students and adults aged 13 and over
