Overview of Skills for Success
www.appleprof.com This website includes tips on many aspects of success, including mental and physical health. Created by an Appalachian State professor, Dr. Al Alshuler. Has no links back to our website, though, so you may want to remember our address--www.lss.appstate.edu I've also linked a few sections of the site below that seem particularly relevant to study skills topics.
Reading
www.supervoca.com vocabulary building- GRE, TOEFL, ESL, Greek Vocab
www.sas.calpoly.edu/asc/ssl.html Reading strategies
http://www.yorku.ca/cdc/lsp/index.htm
Writing
http://grammar.ccc.commnet.edu/grammar/ is a free website with several tips on writing and grammar.
www.comfit.com -- an excellent resource for developing writing skills, especially mechanics such as grammar, spelling, word choice and sentence structure. Students would have to pay (around $5 for a month or $15 for a semester), but the practice tests and examples may be very helpful. You can give it a test run before buying to see if it would help you.
