Originally published in 1956, but just as useful and relevant today, this book covers everything from developing a vocabulary to taking tests and using libraries.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Acquiring and maintaining good study skills is, as the author says, hard work. But it is also the only way to succeed. William H. Armstrong was himself a teacher (as well as author of the Newbery Medal-winning novel \u003cb\u003eSounder\u003c\/b\u003e) and this book comes from his own experience in the classroom. Only a teacher would make the observation, \"It is paradoxical that listening is the easiest way to learn but the hardest study skill to master.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eChapters includes \u003ci\u003eLearning to Listen\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Desire to Learn\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGetting More From What You Read\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePutting Ideas in Order\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eLetting Mathematics Serve You\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHow to Study Science\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eTests and Examinations\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eArmstrong wants all students to develop successful habits. As he writes, \"The beginning of success is interest. Being interested is the basic obligation that is necessary for success in whatever work you do.\" Work is always necessary for success but Amstrong's guidance and insight will make the work much less hard and much more rewarding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e David R.
