Five Star Educational announces the release of Great Homework and Study Skills for Middle and High School", on DVD or VHS, for grades 6-12. This comprehensive educational tutorial comes on the heels of rising levels of academic accountability and increased competition for top college spots.
Lawrenceville, GA (PRWEB) August 31, 2005 -- Beginning with the philosophy that nothing is more important to long-term academic success than learning the best ways to learn, six time award-winning producer/director Dan Sperling releases, Great Homework and Study Skills for Middle and High School, on DVD and VHS, at www.homeworkandstudyskills.com and www.fivestareducational.com
The shortcomings with earlier homework and study skills videos," says director Dan Sperling, was that they didnt go into enough detail when it came to actually discussing study skills methods and strategies, and they lacked entertainment value. Our 85 minute DVD (or VHS) is remarkably comprehensive and uses an entertaining storyline and great teen actors to keep the interest high."
Great Homework & Study Skills gets the highest marks in delivering clear, detailed, subject matter while at the same time, providing a major dose of entertainment value!" writes Dr. Paula Vecchio. The story starts with four students at Laurel Sharon High School, who have more in common than their long-term friendships. All of them are having difficulty with their homework and study skills."
One by one, these friends come to realize that their academic success in general, and their study skills in particular, really do impact their dreams. With the help of super tutor Reece Somerset, a cool English teacher; Kiley, Manny, Rainey and JoJo start turning their lives around."
My original intention was just to write a review of the product," says Dr. Vecchio. I ended up getting the teacher lesson plans too, and going through every one of them with my son. Theyre terrific!"
The academic roadmap thoughtfully laid out by author Mary L. Dennis in the teacher lesson plans," available in middle school and high school versions, may be the most important educational excursion your students ever take." says Producer Dan Sperling.
