"This was amazing! I knew I needed to teach my students how to study, but I didn't really know how. This was the perfect, scaffolded way to teach students about studying. I also LOVE The center options provided!" - Mrs. M.

Study Skills Digital Lesson:

Your zip download includes two files: a link to the digital Google Slides™ Study Skills - How to Study Digital Lesson and a 38-page PowerPoint (PPTX) version. The PDF has a link to make a forced copy of the 38-slide Google Slides™ resource.

Many text boxes in the Google Slides™ and PowerPoint are editable and moveable (those in Century Gothic font), while other text and graphics are flattened per the clip artists' and font artists' Terms of Use.

**A note on editable Google Slides™**

You'll need to open this resource in edit mode (not present mode), and you can type your students’ responses into those boxes (they are editable text boxes, so you use it in edit mode) and drag and drop shapes in that mode. Another great option is to download Full Screen Interactive Google Slides Extension App for Chrome. Enjoy!

Page counts include a Cover, Terms of Use for distance learning, preview pages with links to my other resources, and Credits.
