Describe this homework method:
It helps students learn six basic study skills that are fundamental to good school performance. There are six learning modules, each targeting one skill that a student can work through in 15-20 minutes. The modules focus on organization, listening, taking notes, doing homework, taking tests and utilizing available resources.
Each module also includes a Power Secret or learning tip that is relevant to that skill. The CD is user-friendly and entertaining and results are evident in 4-6 weeks so students do not get bored or frustrated.

Other comments or suggestions:
This program is more affordable than most tutoring programs. A parents guide offers parents specific ways to participate in the program. The program works best if it's used when school (or summer school) is in session so students can apply the skills they learn in the classroom.
