Middle School Study Skills Curriculum

Teach middle school study skills & executive functioning with this 9-week curriculum. Perfect for advisory, homeroom, or electives. Features ready-to-print lessons and an admin funding packet!

I first developed my series of study skills lessons when I was asked by my administrator to teach a 9 week Study Skills course to 6th graders. 

I built this study skills course around 6 major concepts: goals and priorities, organization, time management, reading and note-taking skills, managing projects, and test taking skills.

🍎 NEED SCHOOL FUNDING? Don't pay out of pocket for essential resources! Most schools have budgets for executive functioning and study skills materials. I’ve made it easy for you to request this from your administration.

Get the "Admin Approval" Inquiry Packet! I’ve created a professional, 3-page proposal that includes:

• Standards Alignment: A complete map to Common Core & NCSS.
• The ROI: Why this saves the school money and improves student outcomes.
• Copy-Paste Email: A pre-written request to send to your Principal or Dept. Head.

How To Use This Resource:

✅ While I developed the study skills course for the needs of 6th graders, this is an ideal course for students who are about to enter middle school, or have just arrived in middle school. Studies have shown that developing strong study habits at this age is ideal for strong study habits in the future.

✅ You can use these study skills lessons with your homeroom, advisory class, or study hall students.

✅ You can also use it as a stand-alone 9 week study skills elective course, which is what I originally designed it for.

✅ The lesson outline details clearly how I structured each week and what lessons I did on particular days to give you clear guidance and direction. But they also allow for flexibility to fit your schedule and student needs.
