This series of 5 presentations follows on from https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/bitesize-study-skills-12806253 our first set of Bitesize Study Skills presentations and builds on the techniques visited there, but works as a stand alone set of presentations too. We want our students to do their best and achieve their full potential, but how much time do we spend teaching them how to study and get the most from their lessons, note-taking and revision? This resource uses up to date research to help you to support your students to adopt the best strategies for study and revision.
