Keep learningOakland County, Michigan, is the state's second-most populous county, after only Wayne County. While people of Oakland County can drive to work in areas like Detroit and Ann Arbor, they appreciate the slower pace of life they find here in the Northville area. 

People relocate to our community for a variety of reasons, including the beautiful parks, outstanding cultural institutions, and wonderful restaurants.

What brought you to Oakland County?

  • Did you move to Oakland County for the cost of living?
  • Was it the access to the great outdoors that drew you here?
  • Do you enjoy living within a relatively short commuting distance to some of Michigan’s largest cities?
  • Is it the abundance of lakes and waterways that captured your interest?
  • Are the educational institutions and quality healthcare what made moving here an easy decision?

Whatever it is that led your family to choose the Oakland County area, we are glad you are here. There are countless families with small children here. St. Paul Lutheran School is a resource for parents who need assistance and advice for helping elementary-aged students develop good study habits. 

How to Help Small Children Study Effectively

  1. Organization: Creating a place dedicated to education could be one way to assist children in becoming more organized. This is not the place to be if there are any distractions nearby, such as televisions, video games, or other screens (with the exception of a computer dedicated to schoolwork).
  2. Scheduling: It will not suffice to just remind them to study. You will need to be engaged in the prioritization of what to study and when. You should use a study calendar to accomplish this. It is a good idea to have it in a prominent location where the family will often see it.
  3. Teachers: You can always ask your child’s teachers for advice. Educators will be ecstatic to see you taking the initiative to participate in your child's education. They will gladly provide you with advice on how to help your child improve his or her study habits.
  4. Practice: You may not get it right the first time. You are going to have to evaluate and reevaluate often to determine what works and what does not. Practice different methods to determine what works best for your child.
