At Ayotayo Comprehensive High School, we believe that every student has the potential to succeed—not just in the classroom, but in life. One of the most effective ways to unlock that potential is by developing strong study habits.

Whether your child is preparing for class tests, BECE, WAEC, or simply wants to do better in their daily work, good study habits can make all the difference.

In this article, we’re sharing practical tips for both students and parents to help build a solid academic foundation.

✅ 1. Establish a Consistent Study Routine
Success thrives in consistency. Students are encouraged to set up a daily timetable that includes regular study times, breaks, and review sessions.

💡 Parent Tip: Help create a calm and quiet environment at home during study time. Encourage your child to stick to their schedule, just like they would attend classes at school.

✅ 2. Focus on Understanding, Not Just Memorizing
Learning is more effective when students understand concepts rather than just cramming facts. Encourage your child to break down topics, ask questions, and explain what they′ve learned in their own words.

💡 Student Tip: Use flashcards, mind maps, or even group study sessions to explore challenging subjects in a fun and interactive way.

✅ 3. Limit Distractions—Especially Screens
Mobile phones, video games, and social media can steal precious learning time. Create a study space that’s free from gadgets and distractions.

💡 Parent Tip: Keep phones and tablets away during homework time unless they’re being used for school research.

✅ 4. Use Breaks Wisely
The brain needs rest to absorb and retain information. Encourage students to take short breaks between study periods to refresh their minds.

Try This: Study for 30 minutes, take a 5-minute break. Repeat. It’s called the Pomodoro Technique—and it works!

✅ 5. Parental Involvement Matters
You don’t need to be a subject expert to help your child succeed. Just showing interest in their studies builds motivation and confidence.

💡 Parent Tip: Ask simple, encouraging questions like:
– “What did you learn today?”
– “Is there anything you’re finding difficult?”
– “How can I support you?”
