Question

I need help in social studies, reading and writing. What can I do?

Community Answer

When reading, stop to ask yourself, do I understand this? If you don't, go to a peer or parent and ask them to help you. Practice reading and writing daily. Keep a journal. These things will help you with social studies because they will increase your comprehension. Use flash cards to remember important dates and key terms.

Question

How I can I study for my social sciences class?

Community Answer

Read the questions and answers aloud, eventually only reading the questions and answering them from memory. To help, make flash cards with the questions on one side and the answers on the other, and keep practicing them until they are second nature.
