In your own words give the definition of communication as far as study skills are concerned.?

We Answered:

Life look like as the same without communication. Communication is required only in social life. If a person wants something that he doesn't have, he needs get it for which sometimes he should ask at the source. Else, he has to leave it. So communication is only for any external requirement. In other words, expressing likes and dislikes to external power or body is communication. It also applies to 'make aware or share knowledge'. However, unless there is a need, one does not need any communication. Besides, as far as study skills are concerned, skills are to be practised, not studied. A theory is to know the history of its kind or results and reasons for such skill. This study also 2nd important. For studying swimming, one has to get into the water - study will not work, skill works there. Communication is the primary requirement in respect of study skills are concerned. Without communication nothing can be studied or to be skilled in it.

What word lists should I study next to improve my Scrabble skills?

We Answered:

First off, stem 7's are overrated. For every stem set (say SATINE), you do get a few indispensable bingos like ATONIES and ISATINE - but much of the rest is fluff. Do you really need to know ANESTRI if there are (without studying) 3 or 4 anagrams you'd see anyway? Stem groups are full of wasted memorization.
Like buying a CD for 1 good song, and the other 14 songs do nothing for you.
If you analyze a strong computer program's bingos, only 38% of them are 7's. About 60% are 8's. Learn high probability (well, preferably high *playability*) 8's...the best 3 are AERATION, AEROLITE and INERTIAE.
4's and 5's, yeah, they're pretty essential. Especially how they hook (and conversely, make special note of the safe hookless ones, or downright weird ones like GARDA that hook only as GARDAI).
I'd advise not to learn huge chunks at once. Learn 20 4's, then learn 20 5's, then 20 8's, then 20 more 4's etc. Mix it up. Variety makes it more interesting (and anything that makes such a dull exercise as memorizing words more interesting is a good thing).

How could a teacher teach a word study skill that goes along with the book Where the Wild Things Are?

We Answered:

The Internet is a wonderful invention. If you take your subject of your question and add to what you want to know about it, the search engine will do the rest. For example:

My subject is Teaching. I want to know where to get certified as a teacher.

The search engine result is as follows:

Teaching + state certification requirements

What you get is this: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=Teachin…

This will work for any subject category. Give it a try and good luck

I like that approach better than just saying "Google it" or "Look online".
