THE ACADEMIC GAP SKILLING THE FUTURE WORKFORCE
In addition to poor study skills, Jones also discovered that many study skills books were challenging to read. He wouldn’t be pressed to name difficult books, but since Jones published his Seven Secrets in 2004, the 120-plus-page skills book has earned kudos from K–12 schools and colleges around the country.
The books have been purchased by schools, colleges, and corporations. An estimated 45,000 students, adult learners, and parents have benefited from Seven Secrets of How to Study books. More students are using the book to make a successful transition from middle to high school and from high school to college.
The book teaches students how to study smart, read, take notes, and manage their time. It also offers test questions. Dr. Jones has packed Seven Secrets with methods and activities that -enhance learning. There are how-to-memorize notes for quizzes and tips for writing term papers. The book also helps students to manage stress and get over test anxiety, a major roadblock to passing exams.
Students who read this book learn how easy it is to earn better grades and get an A+ on assignments as they prepare for college or trade school.

7 grade students are thinking O
of dropping out. In many inner cities, more than half of the students who start 9th grade do not go on to earn a high school diploma. According to award-winning educator Stephen Jones, a large percentage of these students lack good study habit skills.
Recently, Dr. Jones gave HE&IT magazine an interview on his inspiration and reasons for writing his best-selling how-to book, Seven Secrets of How to Study: Mapping Your Strategy for Better Grades.
“Throughout my career as a higher education professional, it has been painful to witness the dropout rate of African-American and Hispanic K–12 and college students,” Jones explained.
“A consistent problem of poor study skills prompted me to write a book that would help students to improve their ability to earn better grades,” he said.

Secrets shows how to master the key study elements and the seven pillars that are essential to learning:
1. How to Study Smart 2. Time Management 3. Financial Planning for College/Trade Work
4. Term Papers
“Sharing the Seven Secrets has been a fantastic adventure.” In 2004 Dr. Jones launched a book tour. His goal was to travel to all fifty states.
“There are school districts, parents, and students who regularly say the tips in the books I’ve written are making a difference in their grades. I have been on a 12-year journey around the country sharing my advice on why schools and families should focus on helping their students to develop good study habits. The reward is that better study habits change a student’s academic performance and lead to a better K–12 and college experience and graduation.”
