Help your child to find a method of note-taking that works for her. There are a number of different note-taking methods:
The two-column method
This is a valuable study tool when taking notes or preparing for tests. Here is how to use the two-column method:
- Divide notebook paper into two columns, the left column taking up one-third of the page, and the right column two-thirds of the page.
- Note main ideas or key words in the left column and details in the right column.
- Leave extra space in the right “detail” column for later notes and review.
- When studying for a test, cover the right column to check your knowledge and understanding of details, or the left column to quiz yourself on main ideas or key words.
Outlining
This method is especially useful for taking notes in class and when reviewing and organizing information for papers and reports.
- Note main ideas and supporting details with indents to show the levels of information.
- Use Roman numerals, letters, and numbers to make the different levels of information more visible.
- Take notes in outline form by hand or use the outlining program on a computer.

It’s actually a good one because it enhances vocabulary and the ability to comprehend and understand all types of information.
Do you believe your dishwasher saves water? Trust me! If you only run it when it’s full, it does. Try to use appliances like washers and dryers when they’re completely loaded to avoid wasting energy and water. Believe it. Fill them up – just don’t pack in too much or your stuff might not get fully cleaned, and nobody wants to run the washer twice for the same load.
Due to the many expenses we incurred this month, we literally run out of money. I don’t regret since for the first time in my life, I was able to buy appliances for my own. Don’t get me wrong this is the first time; I live outside my parents control.
