Setting up a Study Studio makes learning and studying at home simpler.
A Study Studio is a dedicated area to learn without distractions. Keeping supplies and materials nearby helps students get into a learning mindset more quickly and stay there longer, making study time more effective!
DO YOU HAVE A DEDICATED AREA FOR LEARNING IN YOUR HOME?
Whether it’s the kitchen table, a desk, or an office, a Study Studio doesn’t have to be elaborate to be effective.
Designating one room or area as the go-to home study space, students’ brains eventually associate this area with learning. When they sit down to complete work or prepare for a test, their brains enter learning mode sooner, making learning time more effective. Students pay better attention to the lesson, are more engaged in learning, and remember more about what they just learned.
The goal of a Study Studio is to maximize the attention students devote to their learning time.
Here’s How To Create An Effective Study Studio
Create Your Own Study Studio in 3 Simple Steps
1. GATHER WHAT YOU NEED: You likely already have all the materials you need in your home. It’s as simple as choosing a spot where learning can happen, then gathering the necessary supplies, such as:
- a chair that’s at the right height
- a solid surface such as a table or desk
- proper lighting
- an outlet nearby
- a box or tote to keep school materials and supplies.
2. PICK THE RIGHT SPOT: Try to avoid choosing an area in a bedroom or in the living room—these are places meant for relaxing and sleeping. If the Study Studio is in a bedroom, avoid moving on to the bed. Research shows that reviewing and learning in bed can affect sleep patterns, limit focus, and decrease productivity.
3. REDUCE DISTRACTIONS: The goal is to help students make the most of their learning time. This means reducing distractions, shutting off TVs, turning down radios, and closing the blinds.
Creating a Study Studio is simple with these three easy steps!
- Choose a dedicated space to learn
- Reduce distractions
- Place all the materials children will need within reach.
