SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA Lindamood-Bell Learning Processes will host a free study skills seminar entitled “Using Your Literacy Skills to Succeed This School Year,” Wednesday, September 13 at 6:00 pm at the San Luis Obispo Learning Center.


This free, two hour study skills seminar will provide the tools necessary to ease you and your child into a new school year. It will be a fun and simple hands-on seminar geared at addressing tasks such as study skills, time management, setting up a successful study space, and more.


 “We are excited to offer this opportunity for parents and children to join together and learn how to become more successful students,” Center Director Nikki Jakins said. “It is a great long term investment that will start this school year off in the right direction.”


The seminar will include an informative presentation along with activities for parents to do with their children in preparation for creating the right learning environment at home, along with all of the necessary tools.


“Our focus at the center is on the process of learning and the development of the necessary learning skills. By hosting this free seminar we can share a small piece of that knowledge with our students’ families, along with those who are not students, and help them to better prepare for their success in school,” said Jakins.
