5.0 out of 5 stars Learn How to Help Your Child Study
Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2025
Study! A Path to Learning and Literacy will give your student the skills they need to study effectively. This book is a practical, empathetic blueprint for transforming study time from drudgery into a period of confidence-building and personal growth.
As a parent or teacher, you are the most important guide a child has on his/her journey through school. Author CJ Machosky has written a book to help parents navigate this journey and shows how they can step back from the role of enforcer and into the more rewarding role of supportive coach.
The book is filled with helpful tips, but one of the best is the Check-up List found at the end of the chapters. Each list summarizes the chapter material and provides clear best study practices for students to focus on.
Helping a student study isn't just about policing homework or flashcards; it’s about equipping them with the essential life skills of focus and organization. This book, Study! A Path to Learning and Literacy makes the road to learning much easier.

“This book is especially relevant during current times as educators, students, and parents navigate learning through online platforms. Machosky’s years of teaching expertise radiate throughout this book. The layout is easy to follow, and it is a must read for students struggling to organize at-home learning or daily homework assignments. STUDY! A Path to Learning and Literacy is useful for any student whether they are just beginning a homework routine or attending college-level classes. In following Machosky’s suggestions in the book, all learners can greatly benefit from her succinct and practical tips!”

“Through my observation, while teaching fluid mechanics at the university, so many undergraduates have the talent and ability but lack the proper studying skills to succeed in engineering courses. This book gives students the necessary directions to build a solid foundation of good study skills early in their academic career. These same study skills will be very beneficial and key to a successful and rewarding university education.”
