In the Middle School Maze, we offer homework help tips and adacemic support strategies.
When confronted with a large homework assignment, knowing where and how to begin can be a challenge, especially for middle school students. Today, we turn to note taking, the foundation of any strong essay or academic project. Find a quiet spot - say the central library in Cambridge, your local New York library branch, or the comfort of your bedroom - and let's get started!
The middle school years are an exciting turning point during which students start to develop tangible academic skills.
Middle school patterns set the stage for long-term academic interests and intellectual passion. Between 11-15, the imagination is ripe, unfiltered, curious…It's prime time to start writing with gusto and abandon.

The Middle School Maze III: Summer Reading & Study Skills
Posted by Sophie Pauze on 6/27/12 10:56 AM
Yes, summer fun is important. But reading through the hot months is too, maybe even more so.
Middle School is the first time in a student’s academic career that a preferred learning style becomes salient and begins to impact study habits, comprehension and retention.
As we progress through our academic careers, learning styles become second nature. Students will often adapt their study habits without even realizing what learning style they prefer, and why they’ve chosen to study they way they have. However, for a young student, this is not always so obvious at first. If you can identify your child’s learning style, you can help them get ahead by framing homework and study skills in a way that makes sense for him or her.
