Review: Bonnie Terry Learning

Apr. 9, 2009 • 11:16 AM

Fact: Up to 87% of students do NOT learn from hearing alone. Most of us homeschooling moms know this and that is why we teach our child to their learning styles.

Bonnie Terry also knows this fact and has produced products to help students practice their reading and study skills.

Bonnie Terry is an Educational Therapist who specializes in learning disabilities.  Bonnie has over 30 years of experience working with students. Her products were created to help ALL students improve their reading fluency as well as retain what they read.

I received two of her products through the TOS Homeschool Crew. I got Five Minutes to Better Reading Skills and Ten Minutes to Better Study Skills! Whoo-Hoo! This sounds great to me and five or ten minutes a day is something that won’t even uproot our already busy schedule.

 

Five Minutes to Better Reading Skills

Five Minutes to Better Reading Skills turns your child or students into confident readers in five minutes a day with these 45 phonic reading drills. Perfect for anyone with short attention spans; spend only five minutes a day in individual or group lessons leading your child or student to success. This reading approach has proven to be very effective for all ages. The approach improves reading through visual and auditory learning.

This is a set of two spiral-bound books. The teacher's manual includes some record-keeping forms and the instructions. The student text contains forty-five drills of words. The drills increase in difficulty as you progress through the book.

The worksheets can be photocopied and used with many students at many different times.

 

Ten Minutes to Better Study Skills

Practical 10-minute exercises, students will soon be on their way to higher test scores, improved writing skills and more! Spiral-bound workbook features reproducible activities and tips to help students organize information, take notes, make comparisons and write essays. Includes reproducible planning calendars, test taking tips, research paper organizers and more! It contains 58 pages within four sections. This product, geared toward 3rd through 12th grades. The Price is $37.00.

According to Webster’s New World dictionary, study means “the act or process of applying the mind so as to acquire knowledge or understanding, as by reading, investigating, etc.”.

This workbook will help our students to apply the mind in this manner to acquire the needed knowledge and understanding. By using Ten Minutes to Better Study Skills with our children we will help them improve their writing, note taking and study skills.

She has a weekly and monthly planning calendar. Story and Book Organizers, Book Report Forms, Cause & Effect, 5 Ws, Compare & Contrast, Formal Outline, Letter Writing, Spelling Patterns, Many Tips and grammar Rules as well.… and most pages also have a duplicate page that has been filled out for an example of how to use the form!

I am planning to print the last few pages: Punctuation Rules, Helping/ Being Verbs, Definitions, and Types of sentences and use them for my older three students to make a grammar mini-office (lapbook) over the summer. This will be very useful when we start back into our lessons then again next school year.

Bonnie Terry Learning has many other educational products you may wish to look further into. If so, check out the website here!
