Study guides can be created by following these steps:

 * 1) ===Go through the entire book and mark what you want to focus on===
 * 2) ===Indicate the sequence of what you will be covering===
 * 3) ===Mark important vocabulary and concepts from the chapters===
 * 4) ===Divide the chapters into sections based on content===
 * 5) ===Write brief sentences explaining the main ideas or emphasizing vocabulary===
 * 6) ===Place sentences in logical order===
 * 7) ===To create questions for the guide, leave out a few words or change the sentence from the passage into a question===
 * 8) ===Make a transparency of sentences and/or questions using large type===
 * 9) ===Prepare sheets for students using regular type===
 * 10) ===Prepare an answer for the teacher===
 * 11) ===Develop a multiple choice test to cover the ideas from the study guide.===

Remember that study guides should be modified to fit the needs of your students. Here are some possible modifications that you can adopt for particular students:

 * ===leave room in the margins for students to take notes.===
 * ===print page numbers next to sentences/questions to help them find answers===
 * ===print missing words on the bottom of the page (word bank)===
 * ===have more advanced students write the entire definition of the word===
 * ===use the study guide as a homework assignment===
 * ===write the study guide at a reading level that fits most of your students===
