Teaching students how to learn is as important as teaching content. Students should be taught good learning approaches like underlining or discussing what they read to help them obtain new knowledge and improve learning outcomes. Some key learning strategies mentioned include making questions, relating new topics to prior knowledge, discussing topics with others, practicing repeatedly, and using diagrams. Teachers should check that children understand what is being taught and how to learn it by asking questions about the lesson topics and ideas, what they will do to remember key points, if anything was unclear, and what they already know about the topic.
